Assuming that the Ark had 1,300,000 cubic feet of usable space, how many sheep sized animals could it have?

held if a 2670 cubic foot railroad stock car can carry 240 sheep(not counting food and other supplies)?
please help, I don’t understand the question really, I don’t want the answer it would just help greatly if you could help me figure out how to work this problem. Thank you so much for your help!

basically, you will want to divide 1,300,000 by 2670 and multiply it by 240.
best of luck
set it up lie this
(1300000/X)^3 = (2670/240)^3
revise: I am apparently unalbe to use the calculator on my cpu because it is a piece of **** I checked it on my real calc and got 116853.9326 ….. uless you want to use the excess as lamb chops the answer should be 116853 whole sheep
Is this a trick question? The ark just had two sheep.
hugs shelby! i myself thinks this would be impossible to say., without knowing the weight of the sheep. it would have to be involved in the quantity,as some sheep would be heavier than others and therefore the bigger..take upmore space and smalled take less.
but..this may help…1 cubic foot ..=..12 x 12 x12=1728
1,300,000 divided by 1728…not saying this is totally right but i gotta be close..lol..good luck.!! hugs..i think this is right ..
