Question

A box measures 3.12 ft in length, 0.0455 yd in width and 7.87 inches in height. Since volume can be found using length x width x height, find the volume in cubic centimeters. Now find the volume in gallons.

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

This problem is on units conversion

given the dimensions

3.12 ft in length,

0.0455 yd in width and

7.87 inches in height

we have to convert to cm first

3.12 ft to cm=

1 ft-------30.48cm

3.12--------x

x=95.09cm

0.0455 yd to cm

0.0455yd ft to cm=

1 yd-------91.44cm

0.0455--------x

x=4.16cm

7.87 in to cm

1 in-------2.54cm

7.87--------x

x=19.98cm

the volume is =95.09cm*4.16cm*19.98cm

volume= 7907.45cm^3

the volume in gallon is

1 cm^3------0.000264172gal

7907.45cm^3-------x

x=7907.45*0.000264172

x=2.088gallons
