A box can hold 175 cubic inches of cereal. Of the box is 7 inches long and 2.5 inches wide, how talk is it ?
V = LWH
175 = 7 * 2.5 * H
175 = 17.5H
_____ inches = H
V=LWH
175= 7*2.5 *X 175=17.5* X
X=10
To find the height of the box, we can use the formula for the volume of a rectangular prism:
Volume = Length × Width × Height
Given that the volume of the box is 175 cubic inches, the length is 7 inches, and the width is 2.5 inches, we can substitute these values into the formula:
175 = 7 × 2.5 × Height
Now, we can solve for the height by dividing both sides of the equation by (7 × 2.5):
Height = 175 / (7 × 2.5)
Simplifying the equation:
Height = 175 / 17.5
Calculating the result:
Height = 10 inches
Therefore, the height of the box is 10 inches.
7 * 2.5 * h = 175
h = 10
