Question

A packing box is being filled with packing peanuts. The box measures 1 1/2 feet by 1 1/2 feet by 2 feet. How many cubic feet of packing peanuts will fit?

Answer 1

Answer:
`4.5\ ft^3`

Explanation:

Given

Measurement of box
`1(1)/(2)* 1(1)/(2)* 2`

suppose Length
`L=1(1)/(2)=(3)/(2)\ ft`

Breadth
`B=1(1)/(2)=(3)/(2)\ ft`

height
`H=2\ ft`

Volume of Cuboid
`=L* B* H`

Volume of Packaging box
`V=(3)/(2)* (3)/(2)* 2`

`V=(9)/(2)\ ft^3`
