Question

About how many cubic feet greater is the volume

of the Mega Moving Truck than the 2-bedroom
moving truck?

Answer 1

Mega Moving truck is 632.102 cubic feet greater than 2-bedroom moving truck.

Solution:

Volume of the mega moving truck = length × width × height

`$=22 (1)/(4)*7 (7)/(12)* 8 (5)/(12)`

Convert mixed fraction into improper fraction.

`$= (22*4+1)/(4)* (7*12+7)/(12)* (8*12+5)/(12)`

`$= (89)/(4)* (91)/(12)* (101)/(12)`

Volume of the mega moving truck = 1420.137 cubic ft

Volume of the 2-bedroom moving truck = length × width × height

`$=14 (1)/(2)*7 (7)/(12)* 7(1)/(6)`

Convert mixed fraction into improper fraction.

`$= (14*2+1)/(2)* (7*12+7)/(12)* (7*6+1)/(6)`

`$= (29)/(2)* (91)/(12)* (43)/(6)`

Volume of the 2-bedroom moving truck = 788.035 cubic ft

Difference between them = 1420.137 – 788.035

= 632.102 cubic ft

Hence Mega Moving truck is 632.102 cubic feet greater than 2-bedroom moving truck.
