Question

A A deck of cards has a volume of 60 centimeters. Find the height of the deck of cards, in centimeters, if it is 3 centimeters wide and 4 centimeters long. You may use exact answers or round to the nearest tenth.

Answer 1

The volume of card is V = 60 cm cube.

The width of card is w = 3 cm.

The length of card is l = 4 cm.

The volume of deck of card is,

$V=l\cdot w\cdot h$

Substitute the values in the formula to obtain the height of the deck.

$\begin{gathered} 60=4\cdot3\cdot h \\ h=\frac{60}{12} \\ =5 \end{gathered}$

Thus, height of the deck of card is 5 cm.
