Question 304085: A yardstick measures 0.5 by 2 by 36 inches. How many yardsticks will fit in a box 2.5 inches wide and 36 inches high, if the length of the box is 28 inches? Answer by vleith(2983) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! Use volume to figure this out.
Find the volume of one yardstick
Then do the same for the box
Since all dimensions are in inches, the two volumes will be in cubic inches.
Now divide the volume of the box by the volume or the yardstick.
That will be the answer.
