Complete question is;

Justin has a crate that is 8 feet long, 2 feet wide, and 3 feet tall. Decide whether each of the crate sizes described below has the same volume as Justin’s crate.

a. 9 feet long, 1 foot wide, 4 feet tall

b. 8 feet long, 2 feet wide, 2 feet tall

c. 4 feet long, 4 feet wide, 3 feet tall

d. 8 feet long, 3 feet wide, 3 feet tall

e. 6 feet long, 2 feet wide, 4 feet tall Answer:

Options C & E have the same volume as Justin's crate.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are told Justin has a crate that is 8 feet long, 2 feet wide, and 3 feet tall.

Thus, original volume is;

V_o = 8 × 2 × 3 = 48 ft³

A) For a dimension of 9 feet long, 1 foot wide, 4 feet tall , volume is;

V_a = 9 × 1 × 4 = 36 ft³

B) For a dimension of 8 feet long, 2 feet wide, 2 feet tall, volume is;

V_b = 8 × 2 × 2 = 32 ft³

C) For a dimension of 4 feet long, 4 feet wide, 3 feet tall, volume is;

V_c = 4 × 4 × 3 = 48 ft³

D) For a dimension of 8 feet long, 3 feet wide, 3 feet tall, volume is;

V_d = 8 × 3 × 3 = 72 ft³

E) For a dimension of 6 feet long, 2 feet wide, 4 feet tall, volume is;

V_e = 6 × 2 × 4 = 48 ft³

Looking at all the options, the only ones that given a volume equal to Justin's original volume are options C & E.
