A gardener is filling 5 planter boxes (cubical pots) with potting soil. Each box is 1.5 feet long on each side. The gardener has 3 bags of potting soil, each with a volume of 5 cubic feet. Is there enough potting soil for the 5 planter boxes?

There is not enough potting soil. The gardener needs 1.875 cubic feet more potting soil.

Explanation:

In the given scenario we need to calculate the total volume of the cubic boxes.

Cubic volume = side * side * side

Cubic volume = 1.5 * 1.5 * 1.5

Cubic volume = 3.375 cubic feet

Since there are 5 planter boxes

Total volume = 3.375 * 5 = 16.875 cubic feet

The volume of soil in the 3 bags is

Volume of soil in bags = 3 * 5 cubic feet = 15 cubic feet

So there is insufficient soil to fill the planter boxes.

The difference is

Difference = 16.875 - 15

Difference = 1.875 cubic feet of soil is short
