Nik needs to estimate how many books will fit in a bin. Each book is 1' tall, 0.5' wide, and 0.1' thick. The bin is 5' wide, 2' tall, and 3' deep. Based on volume only, about how many books will fit in the bin?

Step-by-step explanation:

To estimate how many books will fit in the bin, we need to calculate the volume of one book and the volume of the bin, then divide the volume of the bin by the volume of one book.

The volume of one book is:

Volume = height * width * thickness

Volume = 1' * 0.5' * 0.1' = 0.05 cubic feet

Now, the volume of the bin is:

Volume = length * width * height

Volume = 5' * 3' * 2' = 30 cubic feet

Dividing the volume of the bin by the volume of one book:

30 cubic feet / 0.05 cubic feet per book = 600 books

So, approximately 600 books will fit in the bin based on volume only.
