Question

A 12 inches by 12 inches by 12 inches containers of water was placed in the freezer. Water expands 4% when it is frozen. What is the volume of the container when it is frozen? Give your answer in cubic inches and cubic feet.

Answer 1

Answer:

1797.12in³ or 1.04ft³

Step-by-step explanation:

1ft=12in

Volume V=12×12×12=1728in³=1ft³.

The increased volume:

V'=V+4% V=V+4/100 V=1.04 V

V'=1728×1.04=1797.12in³

Or, in feet³ 1ft³×1.04=1.04ft³
