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.
