Carol keeps her toys in a box that is shaped like a rectangular prism. The height of the box is 24 inches, the width is 36 inches, and the length is 36 inches. Convert the dimensions from inches to feet, then find the volume of the toy box in cubic feet. Remember that 12 inches = 1 foot.

First, we need to convert the dimensions from inches to feet.
Height = 24 inches ÷ 12 inches/foot = 2 feet
Width = 36 inches ÷ 12 inches/foot = 3 feet
Length = 36 inches ÷ 12 inches/foot = 3 feet
Now we can find the volume:
Volume = Height x Width x Length
Volume = 2 feet x 3 feet x 3 feet
Volume = 18 cubic feet
Therefore, the answer is C. 18 ft3.
To convert the dimensions from inches to feet, we need to divide each dimension by 12, since 12 inches equal 1 foot.
Height: 24 inches ÷ 12 = 2 feet
Width: 36 inches ÷ 12 = 3 feet
Length: 36 inches ÷ 12 = 3 feet
Now that we have the dimensions in feet, we can find the volume of the toy box by multiplying the height, width, and length.
Volume = Height × Width × Length
Volume = 2 ft × 3 ft × 3 ft
Volume = 18 ft^3
Therefore, the volume of the toy box is 18 ft^3. The correct answer is C. 18 ft^3.
To convert the dimensions from inches to feet, we need to divide each dimension by 12 inches/foot.
The height of the box is 24 inches ÷ 12 inches/foot = 2 feet.
The width is 36 inches ÷ 12 inches/foot = 3 feet.
The length is also 36 inches ÷ 12 inches/foot = 3 feet.
To find the volume of the toy box, multiply the length, width, and height:
Volume = Length × Width × Height
= 3 feet × 3 feet × 2 feet
= 18 cubic feet
Therefore, the volume of the toy box is 18 cubic feet. Thus, the answer is C. 18 ft3.
