1) Ms. Creeley's class is doing a canned food drive. All the cans will be placed in a large cylindrical barrel that Ally and Joe are going to decorate like a can of stew. The barrel has a radius of 18 inches and is 3 feet high. They plan to first cover it in sheets of 9 inch by 14 inch construction paper. The art teacher will give them the construction paper only if they tell her what is the fewest number sheets they will need. How many sheets will they need if they cover only the sides of the
barrel? Remember, they can only get whole sheets.

2) Dariel made his own home trash compacting device. It is in the shape of a rectangular prism with dimensions 2 feet by 18 inches by 4 feet tall. At the top is a level plate that is pushed straight down on the trash. It is lowered at a rate of 1 foot per 15 seconds. If the trash compactor bin is full to start with, by how many cubic feet is the volume of trash reduced after 30 seconds?

3) An inflatable pool is being filled using two hoses. One hose can fill a 1 gallon bucket in 30 seconds, the other can fill the same bucket in 20 seconds. If the hoses are left on for 20 minutes how many gallons of water are there in the pool?

4) A wooden shipping crate is measured for shipping. Its
length is 8 feet and its girth (going completely once around in
the direction perpendicular to the length) is 24 feet. The
surface area of the lid of the crate is 40 square feet. The
dimensions are whole numbers of feet. What is the volume of
the crate in cubic feet?
