Question 1062741: Ashley purchased a shadow box to create a memento from her beach vacation. The width of the base is 10 in, the length of the base is 12 in, and the height of the box is 5 in. She filled a 1 gallon bucket with sand at the beach. What happens as the sand pours into the shadow box?
(Hint: There are 231 cubic inches in a gallon).
The sand would fill up the shadow box completely.
The sand would overflow the shadow box.
The sand will fill up shadow box and leave space for other items.
You can put this solution on YOUR website! 10*12*5 = 600; 600/231 = 2.6 gallons of sand fit in the box. Therefore, 1 gallon would leave space for other items
