A plant manager built a storage container that is 4 yd long, 10yd wide, and 2 yd tall to store foam reanuts. If the manager purchases bags that contain 7FTcubed of peanuts how many bags of peanuts will it take to fill the container? I converted the yd's to ft and calculated the volume as below.

I went with the volume of the contain as 2,160' with the volume of the peanut bags as 343' so I said 6.3 bags is that right?

Lets see: the volume in ft cubed is 4*10*2*27=2160 so you are right there.

Divide that by 7, so about three hundred bags. I don't know what you got the 343 number from.

I had taken the 7ft cubed as 7 cubed. Not knowing the difference in the two. I'm only 5th grade.

To determine the number of bags of peanuts needed to fill the container, we first convert all the measurements to the same unit.

Given:
Length of the container = 4 yd
Width of the container = 10 yd
Height of the container = 2 yd
Volume of each bag of peanuts = 7 ft³

Since 1 yard (yd) is equal to 3 feet (ft), we need to convert the dimensions of the container from yards to feet:

Length of the container = 4 yd × 3 ft/yd = 12 ft
Width of the container = 10 yd × 3 ft/yd = 30 ft
Height of the container = 2 yd × 3 ft/yd = 6 ft

Now, let's calculate the volume of the container in cubic feet:

Volume of the container = Length × Width × Height
Volume of the container = 12 ft × 30 ft × 6 ft
Volume of the container = 2,160 ft³

Now, we can determine the number of bags of peanuts needed:

Number of bags = Volume of the container / Volume of each bag
Number of bags = 2,160 ft³ / 7 ft³ per bag
Number of bags ≈ 308.57

Since it's not possible to have a fraction of a bag, we need to round up to the nearest whole number. Therefore, you will need approximately 309 bags of peanuts to fill the container.
