Here is the complete question.

Erin built a wooden box to hold hay on her farm.The box is 3 \text { m}3 m3, start text, space, m, end text long, 1 \text { m}1 m1, start text, space, m, end text wide, and 1 \text { m}1 m1, start text, space, m, end text high.Hay costs $14dollar sign, 14 per cubic meter. How much will it cost to completely fill the box with hay?

Answer:

it cost  $42 to completely fill the box with hay

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that :

The length of the wooden box = 3m ; the width of the box = 1m and the height of the box = 1 m; we can easily determine the volume of the rectangular wooden box;

We all know it would assume the shape of a rectangular prism and it's volume = L  × W × H

Thus; the volume of the box = . 3 m × 1 m × 1 m = 3 m³

However, the question proceeds by stating it that the wooden box cost $14 per cubic meter;

So , if 1 cubic meter = $14;

three cubic meters = $14 × 3  = $42

Hence;  it cost  $42 to completely fill the box with hay
