Question

Each basketball comes in a cubic box with side lengths of 1 foot. The locker is 3 feet long, 2 feet wide, and 5 feet high. How many basketballs can Azul fit in the locker?

Answer 1

Answer:Multiple 3x2x5 and you will get 30

Answer 2

30 basketballs

Explanation:

one layer would be 3 x 2 = 6

• to find how much you would need to cover the bottom of the locker, you would use the numbers 3 and 2, then multiply them and you get 6. You would need 6 basketballs to cover the bottom of the locker. That would be your first layer

5 layers would be 6 x 5 = 30

• So the bottom would be filled with 6 basketballs. Now since the locker is 5 feet high multiply 6 x 5 and that would get you your total of basketballs
