max packs cereal boxes into a larger box the volume of each cereal box is 175 cubic inches. which is the best estimate for the volume of the large box? would the answer be it be 210 cubic inches, 420 cubic inches, 2,100 cubic inches, or 4,200 cubic inches?
srry guys my first try I didn't understand properly I think the correct answer now is 4,200.
How many cereal boxes does he want to put in the big box?
2100
2100
To determine the best estimate for the volume of the large box, you need to calculate the total volume of all the cereal boxes and select the closest option from the given choices.
To find the total volume of the cereal boxes, you need to know the total number of boxes being packed into the larger box. If that information is missing, let's assume it is given as "n."
So, the total volume of the cereal boxes would be 175 cubic inches × n.
Now, let's look at the given options:
1. 210 cubic inches: This option seems too low as it is less than the volume of a single cereal box (175 cubic inches).
2. 420 cubic inches: This option also seems low as it is only double the volume of a single cereal box.
3. 2,100 cubic inches: This seems like a reasonable estimate since it is ten times the volume of a single cereal box (175 cubic inches × 10 = 1,750 cubic inches), which could indicate that around 10 cereal boxes can fit into the larger box.
4. 4,200 cubic inches: This option seems too high since it is double the previous option, and it would imply that 20 cereal boxes fit into the larger box.
Based on these estimations, the best estimate for the volume of the large box would be 2,100 cubic inches.
