A container is shaped like a rectangular solid with sides of 3 inches, 3 inches, and 11 inches. What is its approximate capacity, if 1 gallon equals 231 cubic inches?

To find the volume of a rectangular solid, multiply the length, width, and height.
In this case, the length is 3 inches, the width is 3 inches, and the height is 11 inches.
Multiply 3 x 3 x 11 to get the volume of the container.
The approximate capacity of the container is 99 cubic inches.


To convert the volume from cubic inches to gallons, divide by the conversion factor of 231.
99 cubic inches divided by 231 equals approximately 0.4286 gallons.
