Question

A granary is in the shape of a cuboid of size 16m×12m×9m. If a bag of grain occupies a space of 0.48 m3, then the maximum number of bags that can be stored in the granary is

Answer 1

Take Total Volume =no.of bags*volume occupied by bags

Answer 2

Answer:

3600 bags of grain can be stored in the granary.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the dimensions of the granary = 16 m x 12 m x 9 m

Therefore, the volume of the granary = 16*12*9 = 1728 m³

1 bag of grains occupies 0.48 m³ of space

We know that

Volume of granary = No. of bags * Space taken up by 1 bag

1728 m³ = No. of bags * 0.48 m³

=> No. of bags = $\frac{1728}{0.48}$

                        = 3600

Therefore, 3600 bags of grain can be stored in the granary.
