Answer:
C. Number of blocks needed is 27.
Step-by-step explanation:
The dimension of the container = 9 inches by 9 inches by 9 inches
The blocks has a dimension = 3 inches by 3 inches by 3 inches
A. To determine the number of blocks needed to fill the container, divide the volume of the container by the volume of each block.
B. volume of container = length x width x height
volume of each block = length x width x height
Number of blocks needed = [tex]\frac{volume of container}{volume of each block}[/tex]
C. volume of container = length x width x height
= 9 x 9 x 9
= 729
volume of container = 729 cubic inches
volume of each block = length x width x height
= 3 x 3 x 3
= 27 cubic inches
Thus,
Number of blocks needed = [tex]\frac{volume of container}{volume of each block}[/tex]
= [tex]\frac{729}{27}[/tex]
= 27
The number of blocks needed is 27.
