The volune of the container (2160 ft^3) is OK, but I interpret the peanut bag volume as being 7 ft^3, not 7^3 = 343 ft^3.
2160/7 = 308 bags
So, the symbol 7ft cubed is different than 7 cubed? I'm only a 5th grader sorry.
7 ft^3 or 7 feet cubed means 7 cubic feet
If a cube it means length of one side cubed = 7
or the length of one side = about 1.91 feet.
Admittedly the statement is kind of confusing. To get 343 ft^3 they would have to say that the volume of a bag was 343 ft^3.
