Question

Fatima has made a planter box that is 2.5 feet long, 1.5 feet wide, and 2 feet high.
She wants to know what volume of potting soil she needs to fill the box.

Which formula can Fatima use to find the correct volume as a product of the edge lengths?

Answer 1

Answer:

Bottom right

First you multiply the bottom (2.5 x 1.5) to get 3.75. Then multiply 3.75 by 2 to got 7.5.

Whole equation: (2.5 x 1.5) x 2.0 = 7.5
