Arithmetic Grade Five
Lesson One hundred and Fifty-nine: Volume
Joe has a fish tank that's 20 inches wide, 30 inches tall, and 50 inches
long. What is it's volume?
20 inches * 30 inches * 50 inches = 30000 cubic inches
Barb has a container that is 20 cm tall, 10 cm wide, and 15 cm long. What
is the volume of this container?
20 cm * 10 cm * 15 cm = 3000 cubic cm
Finding the volume of boxes and box-shaped objects is as easy as multiplying
three numbers and labeling the units correctly.
