Elena needs to find a table that will fit three cube-shaped cases, each containing a frog. If the volume of each case is 1,000 cubic inches, could she use a table with a top that measures 2 1/2 feet long and 1 1/2 feet wide? Explain.

Answer:

The area of the table is 3.75 feet

The boxes are .83333 feet by .83333 feet so that area is .69

.69x3 is 2.07 so yes they will fit on top of the table
