A garden storage shed sells for $336. The storage space inside the shed is 8 ft long, 4 ft wide, and 6 ft high.
a. What is the volume of the storage space?
b. What is the cost per cubic foot of the storage space?
a. The volume of the storage space is calculated by multiplying the length, width, and height of the shed:
Volume = 8 ft x 4 ft x 6 ft = 192 cubic feet
b. To find the cost per cubic foot, divide the total cost of the shed by the volume of the storage space:
Cost per cubic foot = $336 / 192 cubic feet ≈ $1.75 per cubic foot
Therefore, the cost per cubic foot of the storage space in the shed is approximately $1.75.
