Question

the interior dimensions of a freezer are 48 inches by 36 inches by 24 inches, and it is advertised as being 27 cu ft. is the advertised volume correctly stated?
yes
no

Explanation:

Step1: Convert inches to feet

Since \(1\) foot \( = 12\) inches.
Length \(l=\frac{48}{12}=4\) ft, width \(w = \frac{36}{12}=3\) ft, height \(h=\frac{24}{12}=2\) ft.

Step2: Calculate the volume

The volume \(V\) of a rectangular prism (freezer) is given by \(V=l\times w\times h\).
Substitute \(l = 4\), \(w = 3\), \(h = 2\) into the formula: \(V=4\times3\times2\).
\(V = 24\) cu ft.

Answer:

No
