OK Mr. Do My Homework...
I'll do #13.
13: A farmer cuts ice from his pond in winter and stores it in an ice house. He cuts blocks 9 inches thick, 2 feet wide, and 3 feet long. If the ice house has a capacity of 9000 cubic feet, how many blocks can he store?
If the ice house is less than nine inches wide, the answer is ZERO.
