Question

Chase a has locker that is 2 ft. wide, 2 ft. deep, and 5 ft. high. How many boxes of fundraising candy can he fit into his locker if each box is 1 ft.3 in volume?

Answer 1

16 boxes of candy

Explanation:

since 12 inches fit in one foot, 3 inches are basically 3/12 or 1/4

the volume of the locker = width x depth x height. 2x2x5=20

20 divided by 1 1/4=20 divided by 5/4=20*4/5=80/5=16

Answer 2

20 boxes of fundraising candy can fit in his locker.

Explanation:

because V= l x w x h. 2 x 2 x 5= 20, since you know that the volume is 1. Divide 1 and 20, you still get 20.
