a. 9
b. 10
c. 20
d. 25
The volume of Chase's locker is:
2 ft. x 2 ft. x 5 ft. = 20 cubic feet
The volume of each fundraising candy box is:
1 ft. x 1 ft. x 1 ft. = 1 cubic foot
To determine how many boxes can fit in the locker, we divide the volume of the locker by the volume of each box:
20 cubic feet ÷ 1 cubic foot = 20 boxes
Therefore, Chase can fit 20 boxes of fundraising candy in his locker.
Answer: c. 20
