(4 * 5 * 10) / 231 = ?
I'm here to help you with your math problem and explain how to find the answer step by step.
To determine how many gallons of juice the pitcher can hold, we need to find the volume of the pitcher using the given dimensions.
1. Start by finding the volume of the rectangular base. The formula to find the area of a rectangle is length times width. In this case, the length is 4 inches and the width is 5 inches. So the area of the base is 4 * 5 = 20 square inches.
2. Next, multiply the area of the base by the height of the pitcher to find the volume. The volume of a rectangular prism is given by the formula volume = base area * height. In this case, the base area is 20 square inches and the height is 10 inches. So the volume of the pitcher is 20 * 10 = 200 cubic inches.
3. Now, we need to convert the volume from cubic inches to gallons. Given that there are 231 cubic inches in a gallon, we can divide the volume of the pitcher (200 cubic inches) by 231 to get the volume in gallons. So, 200 / 231 ≈ 0.865 gallons.
Therefore, the pitcher can hold approximately 0.9 gallons of juice (rounded to the nearest tenth).
