Correct question:
Beth is making a beanbag seat in the shape of a cube. Each side of the seat is 2 feet long. Beth needs to find the volume of the seat so that she can buy the correct amount of beans. Beans are sold in bags that hold 2³ feet of beans. How many bags of beans should Beth buy?
Answer:
Beth should buy 4 bags of beans.
Step-by-step explanation:
Since Beth is making a bean bag seat in the shape of a cube, we already know the bean bag seat is a cuboid.
Also, we are asked to find the volume of a cuboid, and the volume of a cuboid is given as the product of all dimensions of the cuboid.
Therefore the volume of the seat is expressed as
V = 2 * 2 * 2
V = 8
To find the number of bags she needs, we have:
[tex] \frac{8}{2} = 4 [/tex]
Beth needs to buy 4 bags of beans
"2³ C of beans" in the question is not correct. It's meant to be "2 ft³ of beans"
Answer:
Beth should buy 4 bags.
Step-by-step explanation:
We are given that;
Each side of the seat = 2ft long
Volume of a cuboid is a product of it's dimensions and this implies that the volume of the seat is;
V = L³
Where,
L = sides of the cube.
Substituting, we have:
V = 2³
V = 8 ft³
Now, since beans are sold in bags that hold 2 ft³ of beans,
Thus, to find the number of bags;
n = 8ft³/2ft³
n = 4
