150 cm³ of water

1 answer

To determine which item would definitely fit inside a right rectangular container with a volume of 150 cm³, we need to consider the volume of each option.

  1. 150 cm² of paper: This is a measure of area, not volume. Therefore, it does not provide a definitive answer regarding whether it can fit inside the container.

  2. 150 cm of rope: This is a measure of length, not volume. It does not indicate how much space the rope would occupy in the container, so we cannot say for certain that it would fit.

  3. an item that is 150.99 cm³: This item has a volume greater than the container's volume (150 cm³). It would definitely not fit.

  4. 150 cm³ of water: This is exactly equal to the volume of the container. Since the container can hold 150 cm³, the water would fit perfectly.

Based on the analysis, the item that would definitely fit inside the right rectangular container with a volume of 150 cm³ is:

150 cm³ of water.
