Can you solve this problem?

It takes some math skills to work in our greenhouse and garden.  When we built our raised beds, we had to decide what size they would be.  Our boards (from Lowe's) were 10 feet long.  We designed the beds to be 10 feet by 5 feet.  So, we had to measure each board to be sure we cut it in half for the crossways pieces.  The depth of the beds is three feet.  Using that information, what is the volume of one raised bed?  We will post the answer on Monday!

    Sorry the answer is a little late....but the cubic volume is 150 feet. To find the volume, we multiplied the length times the width times the heighth.
