Question

A warehouse measures 18 m × 12 m × 6 m. It is filled with blocks, each measuring 1 m × 2 m × 3 m, completely. If 150 such blocks are removed from the warehouse, find the volume of the remaining blocks.

• A. 300 cubic meters
• B. 946 cubic meters
• C. 390 cubic meters
• D. 396 cubic meters

Answer 1

The correct option is D 396 cubic meters

To find the volume of the remaining blocks, we need to subtract the volume of 150 blocks from the volume of the warehouse.

Volume of the warehouse
= 18 $\times$ 12 $\times$ 6 = 1296 cubic m

Volume of 1 block
= 1 $\times$ 2 $\times$ 3 = 6 cubic m

150 such blocks are removed.

The removed volume = 150 $\times$ 6 = 900 cubic m

Remaining volume = 1296 - 900 = 396 cubic m
