Plastic Palooza

Your goal is to decide, by estimating, whether it is possible for all of the elementary schools in the country to produce enough recyclable plastic to fill the cargo containers that the United States ships each year.

A standard cargo container for a ship measures 20 feet long, 8 feet wide, and 8 feet tall. What is the volume of the container?

Each school makes about 40 cubic feet of recyclable plastic each day. How many days would it take for a school to fill one cargo container?

In 2018 the United States exported about 210,000 cargo containers of plastic. There are about 70,000
elementary schools in the United States. How many cargo containers does each school need to fill in
order to fill all of these containers?

Cool Down: Ship It

A different shipping container is 40 feet long, 9 feet wide, and 8 feet tall.

What is the volume of this container? Explain or show your thinking.

A school makes 24 cubic feet of recyclable plastic each day. How many days does it take the school to fill this container? Explain or show your thinking.
