A crate is 2 feet in length, 5 feet in height, and has a volume of 40 cubic feet. What is the width of the crate?

Answer: 4 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula for volume is length x width x height

The answer to your question is 4 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

Data

length = 2 ft

height = 5 ft

Volume = 40 ft³

width = ?

Process

A crate is a rectangular prism, so to calculate the volume we use

Volume of a rectangular prism = height x length x width

-Solve for width

width = Volume / height x length

-Substitution

width = 40 / (5 x 2)

-Simplification

width = 40/10

-Result

width = 4 ft
