You can put this solution on YOUR website!
the volume is the length , width , and height multiplied together ___ V = L x W x H\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "the measurement units must be the same for all three dimensions (as you realized)\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "3/4 full means the height (depth) is 3/4 of 16 inches
\n" ); document.write( "___ 1/4 of 16 is 4 , so 3/4 would be 12
\n" ); document.write( "___ 12 inches is a foot\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "so the cubic feet of water would be ___ V = 6 x 5 x 1\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "good luck in the Corps ___ was there '67 - '70 \n" ); document.write( "
