1.

Each cube of fudge measures 3 by 3 by 3,

so it's volume is :

3*3*3=27 (cubic inches )

Then divide the tin's cubic inches by the fudge's cubic inches

to see how many pieces can fit:

9*12*8=864(tin's cubic inches)

864/27=32 pieces

Answer:32 pcs

2.

if Sarah=S, brother=B

S=2B; S-B=15,S=B+15

=>2B=B+15

=>2B-B=15, B=15, S=30

Answer: Sarah's youngest brother is 15 years old

3.

the winner gets half of the total prize money and the winner gets $6,000.

So the total prize money must be twice the $6,000

which is $12,000.

Answer: total prize money is 12000

Answer 2

只能疊兩層 3x4x2=24

Answer 3

In Sharon's response, I don't agree with first answer.

You can't cut the cubed fudges to fill the entire box. Therefore, the

solution should be:

length: 12 / 3 = 4

width: 8 / 3 = 2 ... 2 (take the whole number 2)

height: 9 / 3 = 3

total number = 4 * 2 * 3 = 24
