How to solve Grade 5 volume problems

Real problems from these worksheets, solved one step at a time — the same explanations your child sees when practicing online.

  1. Example 1

    A box holds 40 unit cubes in all. Each layer has 10 cubes. How many layers of cubes are in the box?

    1. Layers × cubes in each layer = all the cubes, so divide: 40 ÷ 10.
    2. 40 ÷ 10 = 4. Check: 4 × 10 = 40.
    3. There are 4 layers of cubes in the box.

    Answer: 4

  2. Example 2

    Find the volume of a rectangular prism with length 8, width 8, and height 2 units.

    1. Volume = length × width × height.
    2. 8 × 8 = 64 (one layer), then 64 × 2 = 128.
    3. The volume is 128 cubic units.

    Answer: 128

  3. Example 3

    Find the volume of a cube with side length 4 units.

    1. Volume of a cube = side × side × side.
    2. 4 × 4 = 16, then 16 × 4 = 64.
    3. The volume is 64 cubic units.

    Answer: 64
