What is the volume in cubic feet of a corn crib that is 21 feet long, 9 feet wide, and 12 feet high?How many bushels of corn can be stored in the crib? (Note 1.25 cubic feet = 1 bushel)



Answer :

Answer:

Volume = 2268 ft³

1814.4 bushels of corn

Explanation:

The volume of the corn crib can be calculated as:

Volume = Length x Width x Height

Then, the volume is equal to:

Volume = 21 ft x 9 ft x 12 ft

Volume = 2268 ft³

Finally, to know the number of bushels of corn that can be stored, we need to divide the volume of the corn crib by the volume of each bushel of corn. So:

[tex]\frac{2268ft^3}{1.25ft^3}=1814.4\text{ bushels of corn}[/tex]

Therefore, the volume of the corn crib is 2268 ft³ and it can store 1814.4 bushels of corn.
