Question from lee-Anne, a student:

Each bag of wood chippings will fill 4m3 how bags would be needed?
Volume of box is 572 m3
L=11m
W= 6.5m
H=8m

Hi,

When you first sent this problem you had

Volume of box is $572 \mbox{ cm}^3$
L=11cm
W= 6.5cm
H=8cm

When I asked for clarification you said that

L=11m
W= 6.5m
H=8m

I then changed the units in your question and then repeated your calculation to get a volume of $572 \mbox{ m}^3.$ How many $4 \mbox{ m}^3$ bags do you need to fill a box of volume $572 \mbox{ m}^3?$
