Answer:
0.0723 cubic feet < 1 cubic foot.
Step-by-step explanation:
A cube-shaped salt lick is ordered by a rancher and the length of each salt lick is [tex]\frac{5}{12}[/tex] foot.
Therefore, the side length of each salt lick of cube-shape is [tex]\frac{5}{12}[/tex] foot.
So, the volume of each salt lick is [tex](\frac{5}{12} \times \frac{5}{12} \times \frac{5}{12}) = \frac{125}{1728} = 0.0723[/tex] cubic feet.
Hence, this volume is less than 1 cubic foot. (Answer)
