Question

find the volume of a box that will hold six 150.8 in³ cylindrical containers that each measure 12 inches long. (round to nearest whole number) a 905 in³ b 906 in³ c 1050 in³ d 1152 in³ e 1157 in³

Explanation:

Step1: Calculate total volume of containers

The volume of one cylindrical container is $150.8$ in³ and there are 6 containers. So the total volume of the 6 containers is the product of the volume of one - container and the number of containers.
$V_{total - containers}=150.8\times6$
$V_{total - containers}=904.8$ in³

Since the box needs to hold these 6 containers, the volume of the box should be at least equal to the total volume of the 6 containers. Rounding $904.8$ to the nearest whole number gives 905 in³.

Answer:

A. 905 in³
