We all know how toilet paper has been horded during the pandemic. Your
teacher has cleared out a closet to hoard TP. Using the Fermi process, you need to
estimate the number of rolls of TP she can fit into a rectangular prism section of a
closet with dimensions of 36 in. by 108 in. by 36 in. Measure a roll of TP at your
home, remember it is a cylinder you need its radius and height to calculate its size.
Radius: _________ Height: ____________
About how many rolls of TP can fit into the closet section?

Assume the radius is 5 and the height is 4.

We first need to find the volume of both the TP roll and the volume of the closet.

In order to find the volume of the TP roll, we need to use the formula
V =
\pi
r^(2)
h (r meaning radius and h meaning height), so that means we have to do 3.14 × 5 × 5 × 4.

After solving, we get 314 as our answer.

Next we need to find the Volume of the closet by using the formula L × W × H (L meaning Length, W meaning Width, and H meaning height), so that means we have to do 36 × 108 × 36.

We then get 139,968 as our answer.

The last thing we need to do is 139,968 ÷ 314.

The answer we get is 445.

So the answer to this question is: About 445 rolls of TP can fit into the closet.
