Im confused please help thank you
To find the volume of a box, you multiply the length times the width time the height.
The colume of a box is 36,000 cubic inches. Its width is 40 in and its height is 15 in.
Eatimate the length of the box.
40 * 15 = 600
Can you divide 36,000 by 600 in your head?
What do you think is the length?
600 is the length
Let's check that.
40 * 15 * 600 =

To find the length of the box, we can use the formula for the volume of a box. The formula states that volume = length x width x height.
Given:
Volume = 36,000 cubic inches
Width = 40 inches
Height = 15 inches
To estimate the length of the box, we can rearrange the formula and solve for length.
Divide both sides of the equation by (width x height):
Length = Volume / (width x height)
Plugging in the given values:
Length = 36,000 cubic inches / (40 inches x 15 inches)
Calculating the length:
Length = 36,000 cubic inches / (600 square inches)
Length = 60 inches
Therefore, the estimated length of the box is 60 inches.
