Question

Jacob needs to know if the volume of a storage bin is under 3,000 cubic feet. The

dimensions of the bin are 17 ft. X 15 ft. x 10 ft.
a. Is the bin under 3,000 cubic ft.?
b. If yes, by how much?

Answer 1

Let’s first multiply all the numbers given

Since it wants the volume we need to use the formula

LxWxH

17x15x10=2,550

Part A: yes the bin is under 3,000

Part B: by 450 more because if you subtract 3,000 and 2,550 you will get 450

Hope this helps! :)

Answer 2

It is less than 3000 ft^3 by 450 ft^3

Explanation:

The volume of the bin

V = l*w*h

V = 17*15*10

V =2550 ft^3

If it less than 3000 ft^3

V = 3000- 2550 =450 ft^3

If is less by 450 ft^3
