A gallon has a volume of 231 cubic inches. If a gallon of milk was sold in a perfectly cubical container, to the nearest tenth of an inch, how high would the container be?

A. 6 inches
B. 6.1 inches
C. 6.2 inches
D. 6.3 inches

Answer :

Final answer:

The height of a perfectly cubical container that can hold one gallon of milk is approximately 6.1 inches when rounded to the nearest tenth of an inch, answer choice B.

Explanation:

To find out the height of a cubical container that can hold one gallon of milk, we'll use the volume of a gallon in cubic inches and the formula for the volume of a cube (V = s³, where s is the length of a side). We know that a gallon is 231 cubic inches. Hence:

231 = s³

To find the length of a side (s), we take the cube root of 231:

s = [tex]\sqrt[3]{231}[/tex]

s ≈ 6.14 inches

To the nearest tenth of an inch, the cubical container's height or side length would be 6.1 inches. This means the correct answer is:

B. 6.1 inches

Answer:

B. 6.1 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

You find third square root of 231 [tex]\sqrt[3]{231}[/tex]
