Answer 1

Step 1 all units into feet 1 palm = 3.10 inch = 3.10/12 ft l = 300 cubits = 300 times 6 times 3.10/12 ft = 465 ft b = 50 cubits = 50 times 6 times 3.10/12 = 77.5 ft h = 30 cubits = 30 times 6 times 3.10/12 = 46.5 ft step 2 volume = l times b times h = 465 times 77.5 times 465 ft^3 = 1675743.75 ft^3 answer Ratio = volume of arc/volume of house = 1675743.75/49 times 31 times 12 = 91.93 Answer
