Lloyd bought a refrigerator that measures 76 cm×76 cm×170 cm to fit in a space with a volume of 975,000 cm3. Will the refrigerator fit in the space? Explain.

Question

A Yes, it will fit. It will be a bit tight, but that won’t matter.
B No, it is 6,920 cm3 too big for the space.
C Yes, it will fit since it is smaller than the space.
D No, it is 6,920 cm3 too small for the space.

Answer 1

C Yes, it will fit since it is smaller than the space.

To determine whether the refrigerator will fit, we need to calculate the volume of the refrigerator:

Volume = length x width x height
Volume = 76 cm x 76 cm x 170 cm
Volume = 978,160 cm3

Since the volume of the refrigerator is smaller than the volume of the space (975,000 cm3), the refrigerator will fit with some extra space left over. Therefore, the correct answer is C.

Answer 2

Bot 76x76x170 is 981920

Answer 3

You're right, I apologize for the mistake.

The correct calculation for the volume of the refrigerator is:

Volume = length x width x height
Volume = 76 cm x 76 cm x 170 cm
Volume = 981,920 cm3

Since the volume of the refrigerator is larger than the volume of the space (975,000 cm3), the refrigerator will not fit in the space. Therefore, the correct answer is B, "No, it is 6,920 cm3 too big for the space."
