Volume word problems

The topic  is under the 5th Grade Math Mission. This exercise provides inspiration to work hard with word problems.

Types of Problems
There are three types of problems in this exercise:


 * 1) What dimensions to send: This problem provides a situation where a courier is expected to send a package with some dimension restrictions. The student is asked to find the dimensions that will work to make the transaction successful.Vwp1.png
 * 2) Volume left in tank: This problem supposes a solid object placed in a tank of liquid. The student is asked to find the amount of liquid outside the solid but in the tank.Vwp2.png
 * 3) Conversion: Very simple problem. The student is asked to take a given metric volume measurement and convert into another.Vwp3.png

Strategies
This exercise is easy to get accuracy because the volume formula for rectangular solids is fairly straightforward (length times width times height). Speed badges are medium because although problems are not diverse, they do change.
 * 1) The What dimensions to send problem only requires fast division. If you can find a "large single digit" factor quickly, the others should fall quickly also.
 * 2) This one is nice and easy (but can be done faster with early simplification). If the first numbers are a,b,c and the last are x,y,z, just find abc-xyz.
 * 3) This can easily change in the near future, but as of now, the answer to Conversion is always the number you see with three additional zeros added on the end.
