You can put this solution on YOUR website! 2.5 / 0.5 = 5 (Dang, those are some awfully thick yardsticks!)
28 / 2 = 14
14 * 5 = 70 and bob's your uncle!
You can put this solution on YOUR website! There is no unit conversion involved.
get the volume of oney ardstick
get the volume of the box
.5*2*36=18*2=36 in^3
2.5*36*28/36=2.5*28=70
Which is what Deina got
