Question

A stack of wood 4 feet wide, 8 feet long, and 4 feet high is equal to 1 cord of wood. How Many cords would a pile 4 feet wide, 16 feet long, and 4 feet high contain

Answer 1

Answer:

There will be two cords of wood in one pile of wood

Step-by-step explanation:

1 cord of wood is equal to 4 feet wide, 8 feet long, and 4 feet high

Volume of 1 cord of wood

$= L * B * H$

Substituting the give values we get

Volume of 1 cord of wood $= 4 * 8 * 4$

Volume of pile $= 4 * 16 * 4$

Number of cord in one pile of wood is equal to volume of pile divided by volume of one cord

$\frac{4*16*4}{4*8*4} = 2$

There will be two cords of wood in one pile of wood.
