#1. recall that volume = length * width * height
#2. time = distance/speed -- watch the units (km vs miles)
#3. I assume he is tiling the walls, since no mention is made of the floor width.
8 in = 2/3 ft, so align the 8" sides with the lengths. Thus, the length is
(3+6+2) / (2/3) = 18 tiles long
and the room is 10ft/4in = 30 tiles high
So it will take 540 tiles
#4. 9x9x12 ≈ 10x10x12 = 1200
or, more roughly, 10x10x10 = 1000

A box measures 9 inches by 9 inches by 12 inches. Estimate the volume of the box, and then find the actual volume. Use your estimation to determine if the answer is reasonable.
A. A good estimate is 900 cubic inches. The actual volume is 972 cubic inches. Since the actual volume is close to the estimate, the answer is reasonable.
B. A good estimate is 1,000 cubic inches. The actual volume is 972 cubic inches. Since the actual volume is close to the estimate, the answer is reasonable.
C. A good estimate is 900 cubic inches. The actual volume is 216 cubic inches. Since the actual volume is not close to the estimate, the answer is not reasonable.
D. A good estimate is 1,000 cubic inches. The actual volume is 216 cubic inches. Since the actual volume is not close to the estimate, the answer is not reasonable.
