Suppose 120 golf balls fit in a 1x 1.5 X.5 (in feet) box, how many golf balls will be needed to fill a storage room with dimensions 5 X 7 X 8 (in feet)?

44,800 golf balls

Step-by-step explanation:

If 120 golf balls fit in a 1x 1.5 X0.5 (in feet) box, this means that 120 golf ball fits in a 0.75 ft box

To determine the amount of golf balls that will be needed to fill a storage  room with dimensions 5 X 7 X 8, we will ahve to take the product of the dimension first

Dimension = 5*7*8 = 280ft

Since 120 golf balls = 0.75ft

x golf balls = 280ft

cross multiply

0.75 * x = 280*120

0.75x = 33600

divide both sides by 0.75

0.75x/0.75 = 33600/0.75

x = 44800

Hence 44,800 golf balls will be needed to fill the storage room with dimensions 5*7*8 ft
