Question

A student says that 1 cubic foot holds 12 times more than 1 cubic inch. Do you agree or disagree? Explain. 100 points correct and brain;oest

Answer 1

Let's verify

`\\ \rm\hookrightarrow 1ft=12in`

• Square on both sides

`\\ \rm\hookrightarrow 1ft^2=144in^2`

• Again

`\\ \rm\hookrightarrow 1ft^3=11728in^3`

• No no disagree

Answer 2

Disagree

Explanation:

1 foot = 12 inches

1 square foot = 1 ft x 1 ft = 12 in x 12 in = 144 in²

1 cubic foot = 1 ft x 1 ft x 1 ft - 12 in x 12 in x 12 in = 1728 in³

Therefore 1 cubic foot does not hold 12 times more than 1 cubic inch.
