yards​ high? Use the fact that 1

corde=128ftcubed3

and 1yardcubed3 = 27ftcubed3.

Question-

You could fit

?

cords of wood in a room that is

3

yards​ long,

3 yards​ wide, and 2yards high.

Answer 1

Solution:  

Length of room=3 yards

Width of room= 3 yards

Height of room=2 yards

Volume of room=length*width*height

Volume of room=3*3*2=18 yard³ -------------------------------------------- (1)

Volume of 1 card=128 ft³

But 27 ft³=1 yard³

So, 1 ft³=(1/27) yard³

So, Volume of 1 card=128*(1/27) yard³

Volume of 1 card=4.74 yard³ ---------------------------- (2)

So, Number of card=(Volume of room)/(Volume of 1 card)

Number of cards=(18/4.74)=3.8

Taking nearest integral value

Number of cards=4
