Janitors at Strickland High School empty 25 trash cans each day. The design of

each trash can is shown below.

Height - 4.5 inches

Length - 3 inches

Width - 2 inches

What is the total volume of trash that the janitors empty each day?

Round to the nearest tenth and don't forget to include units. The tick mark

on the numbers represents inches.

Answer: 675 cubic inches of trash

Step-by-step explanation:

Hi, to answer this question, first, we have to calculate the volume of each trash can:

Volume of a rectangular prism: width x length x height

Replacing with the values given:

V = 2 x 3 x 4.5 = 27 cubic inches

Since there are 25 trash cans every day, we have to multiply the volume of each one by 25.

27 x 25 = 675 cubic inches of trash
