Small cubes with sides 112 ft long are stacked so there are

Small cubes with sides 1/12 ft long are stacked so there are 6 layers of cubes. Each layer is 4 cubes long and 2 cubes wide. What are the dimensions of the stack? length width height

Solution

Since there are 6 layers of cubes with sides 1/12 ft, the height of the stack is 6*1/12 = 1/2 ft. Since each layer of cubes is 4 cubes long, the length of the stack is 4*1/12 = 1/3 ft. Since each layer of cubes is 2 cubes wide, the width of the stack is 2*1/12 = 1/6 ft.
