Question

A farmer makes hay bales that are 1m cubes. His trailer can haul 128 hay bales at once. He is going to buy a new machine that makes hay bales that are 2cm cubes. How many bales will fit on the trailer now? (Assume they all fit evenly)

Show calculations

Answer 1

Do you mean that the new machine's bales are 2 cm cubes?

Answer 2

a 2m cube occupies 8 times the volume of a 1m cube. I assume the trailer is enclosed, so the volume makes a difference. So, what's 128/8?
