Answer:

214 cubic feet (rounded to the nearest cubic foot)

Explanation:

Step 1 Determine the volume of 1 box

Volume of a box or rectangular prism = dimensions multiplied by each other

Here, the given dimensions are 11 in by 8 in by 12 in

So the volume of one box would be 11 x 8 x 12 = 1056 cubic inches

Step 2 Determine volume of all 350 boxes

Volume of 1 box = 1056

So volume of all 350 boxes = 1056 x 350 = 369600 cubic in

Step 3 Convert cubic in to cubic ft

To convert to cubic feet we divide the amount of cubic inches by 1728 (this is because there are 1728 cubic inches in 1 cubic foot)

369600 / 1728 = 214 cubic feet (to the nearest cubic foot)

214 cubic feet of warehouse space is required for 350 boxes with the dimensions of 11in by 8in by 12in
