Question 1051768: A non-profit organization makes chocolate cakes for the annual food drive. The rectangular cake pan is 7 inches in width, 11 inches in length and 2 inches in height. If the head baker makes 6 cups of cake batter, what is the approximate depth of the batter once it is completely poured into the pan? (Note: 1 cubic inch is approximately equal to 0.069 cups)

The volume of the pan is 7*11*2=154 in^3.
1 cubic inch is 0.069 cups
1cup is 14.493 in^3;1/0.069
6 cups is 86.957 in^3.
For depth, 7*11 is 77 in^2, the area of the bottom.
86.957/77=1.129 inches, depth.
