A box is 24 inches long, 10 inches wide, and 10 inches deep. About how many cubic feet is the box?
24 * 10 * 10 = cubic inches
1 cubic foot = 1728 cubic inches
To find the volume of the box in cubic feet, follow these steps:
Step 1: Convert the measurements to feet.
The length of the box is 24 inches, which is equal to 2 feet (since 1 foot = 12 inches).
The width of the box is 10 inches, which is equal to 0.83 feet (approximately, since 1 foot = 12 inches).
The depth of the box is 10 inches, which is also equal to 0.83 feet (approximately, since 1 foot = 12 inches).
Step 2: Calculate the volume by multiplying the dimensions.
Volume = Length x Width x Depth
Volume = 2 feet x 0.83 feet x 0.83 feet
Volume = 1.38 cubic feet (approximately).
Therefore, the box is approximately 1.38 cubic feet.
To find the volume of the box in cubic feet, you'll need to convert the dimensions from inches to feet and then multiply them together.
First, let's convert the length, width, and depth from inches to feet:
- Length: 24 inches ÷ 12 inches/foot = 2 feet
- Width: 10 inches ÷ 12 inches/foot = 0.8333 feet (rounded to 4 decimal places)
- Depth: 10 inches ÷ 12 inches/foot = 0.8333 feet (rounded to 4 decimal places)
Next, multiply the three dimensions together to find the volume:
Volume = Length × Width × Depth
Volume = 2 feet × 0.8333 feet × 0.8333 feet
Volume ≈ 1.38 cubic feet (rounded to 2 decimal places)
So, the box is approximately 1.38 cubic feet in size.
The answer is 1.4
24x10x10/1728cuFT = 1.3888... rounds to 1.4
