A truck whose bed is 8 feet long, 5 feet wide, and 3 feet
high is delivering sand for a sand sculpture competition. How many trips
must the truck make to deliver 300 cubic feet of sand?

Students in 2°, you are almost halfway through Chapter Eight. Up to this point, we have discussed customary unit measures, significant digits, and circumference of a circle. Once class resumes, it is expected that you can recall this information for a Quick Check. If you would like, you are encouraged to post an answer to the question below.
Scientists have identified the faint outline of part of an ancient meteor crater on the coast of Mexico. The rest of the approximately circular crater lies underwater. The crater’s diameter
is about 170 kilometers. Approximate the distance around the crater to the nearest kilometer.
Yesterday I was cruising around Earth in my spacecraft and made
a video for you guys. I hope you enjoy!
For a final answer to this question I got that the truck would need to make 2 trips total. Here is what I did to get that. Firat since the bed of the truck is a rectangular prism I know that the formula to use is: (w*h) + (l*h) + (l*w) * 2. From there I plugged in the nescessary numbers to make this equation complete, also I made a little drawing of a rectangular prism to help. Once I plugged in all the numbers I got a final answer of 158 cubic feet is how many cubic feet the bed of the truck can hold. But if you need 300 cubic feet then you need to find out how many times 158 goes into 300 and that is 2. Even though it does not go in perfectly it is an approximated answer.

the answer would be 533.8
ReplyDeleteI got the answer 29,568 I am not completely sure I got it right but I could use some help on problems like this. :) :(
ReplyDeleteI got the answer 3, so he has to make 3 trips to deliver all the sand
