Measurement

Question

If a crate is packed to capacity with 81 cubes measuring 4 inches on each edge, what is the volume of the crate in cubic inches?

Answer 1

First, calculate the volume of one of those cubes; that's 4 cubed = 64 cu in.

 

You say that the capacity of the crate is 81 cubes, so multiply 81 times 64 to obtain the desired volume.
