a cordof wood stacked as a rectangular solid measures 4"x4"x8". How many cubic feet are in 3/4 this fo a cord?
Are you sure the cord is measured in inches?
4'x4'x8'
Ahh -- now this makes sense.
4'x4'x8' = 127 cu. ft,
0.75 * 128 = 96 cu.ft.
thank you!!
You're welcome.
72 feet is 3/4 of the total
(1/4=24}
To find the number of cubic feet in 3/4 of a cord of wood, we need to calculate the volume of the rectangular solid and multiply it by 3/4.
The given measurements are 4" x 4" x 8". However, since we need to find the volume in cubic feet, we must convert the measurements from inches to feet.
To convert inches to feet, we divide by 12, as there are 12 inches in a foot.
So, the measurements in feet are: 4/12 ft x 4/12 ft x 8/12 ft.
Simplifying, we get: 1/3 ft x 1/3 ft x 2/3 ft.
To find the volume, we multiply these dimensions together: 1/3 ft x 1/3 ft x 2/3 ft = 2/81 cubic feet.
Finally, to find 3/4 of this volume, we multiply it by 3/4: 2/81 cubic feet x 3/4 = 6/324 cubic feet.
Simplifying, we get: 1/54 cubic feet.
Therefore, there are 1/54 cubic feet in 3/4 of a cord of wood.
