Question

Skylar models the volume of a popcorn box as a right rectangular prism and the box can hold 69 cubic inches of popcorn when it is full. Its width is 33 in and its height is 5 3/4 in. Find the length of the popcorn box in inches. Round your answer to the nearest tenth if necessary.

Answer 1

Answer:

4/11 of an inch (about .4 of an inch)

Step-by-step explanation:

$l \times 33 \times 5.75 = 69$

$189.75l = 69$

$l = \frac{69}{189.75} = \frac{4}{11} = .3636$

So the length of the popcorn box is 4/11 of an inch, or about .4 of an inch.
