Question:

Its a science question I need help?

Suppose you harvested a large crop of grain this year. The grain is now in a pile and takes upan area of 50 m2 and is 2 m high. You have a silo that has an area of 15 m2 that is 3 m high.Will all of the grain fit in this silo? If not, how much of the grain will remain outside of the silo?Show your work.

Answer:

You have to see if volumes match. Pile volume == volume of grain = 50x2 = 100m3 Silo volume = 15x3 = 75 m3 The grain won't fit in the silo; outside you would be left 25m3 of grain.
