Question

How many cubic feet of warehouse space are needed for 440 boxes 13in. by 4in. by 10in. ?

Answer 1

19,065 ft³

1) We need for this question, to find out the volume of each box: 13" x 4" x 10"

2) The volume of each box, can be found by the following formula:

`V=13*4*10`

Let's convert from inches to feet, using the following relation:

`1in=(1)/(12)ft`

So we can write out:

`\begin{gathered} V=(520)/(12) \\ V=43.33ft^3 \end{gathered}`

Notice that this is the volume, in feet, of one box. Since the question refers to 440 boxes we can multiply that volume by 440:

`440*43.33=19,065.2\approx19,065ft^3`

3) Hence, the answer is approximately 19,065 ft³
