He will have left 154.75 inchesĀ³ after he fills each pot full of soil
Step-by-step explanation:
The formula of the volume of a cube is V = sĀ³, where s is the length of its side.
Remember:
āµ Anthony has two cube-shaped pots with an interior edge
Ā length of 8 inches
ā“ s = 8
- use the formula of the volume
ā“ The volume of each pot = (8)Ā³ = 512 inchesĀ³
ā“ The volume of the two pots = 512 Ć 2 = 1024 inchesĀ³
āµ He has another two cube-shaped pots with an interior edge
Ā length of 6.5 inches
ā“ s = 6.5
ā“ The volume of each pot = (6.5)Ā³ = 274.625 inchesĀ³
ā“ The volume of the two pots = 274.625 Ć 2 = 549.25 inchesĀ³
āµ He wants to fill each pot full of potting soil
- The volume of soil he uses to fill the 4 pots is equal the volume
Ā of the four pots
āµ The total volume of pots = 1024 + 549.25 = 1573.25 inchesĀ³
ā“ The total soil he uses = 1573.25 inchesĀ³
āµ His bag of potting soil is one cubic foot
āµ 1 cubic feet = 1728 cubic inches
- To find the quantity of soil he not used subtract the total volume
Ā Ā of the 4 pots from the volume of the soil in his bag
ā“ The soil he will left = 1728 - 1573.25 = 154.75 inchesĀ³
He will have left 154.75 inchesĀ³ after he fills each pot full of soil
