Mr. Powell rents a storage space that is 7 feet high, 5 feet long, and 4 feet wide. How many containers, each one cubic foot in volume, can Mr. Powell fit into the storage space?

To find how many 1 by 1 containers can fit in his storage space we must find the volume of the storage space in cubic feet. The formula for the volume of a rectangular prism aka the room is length x width x height. With this formula, all we need to do is plug in all the values given to the variables.

volume = length x width x height = 5 x 4 x 7 = 20 x 7 = 140

Final 140 one foot by one foot containers  can fit in Mr. Powell's storage space
