A cereal box has a length of 8 inches, a width of 1.75 inches, and a height of 12.125 inches? How much cereal will the box hold?
Explain your method to your solution.
Help please!!
I can find the volume of the box, it is
(8)(1.75)(12.125) inches^3
= 171.5 inches^3
As to "how much cereal will the box hold", you don't say if by volume, or by weight ?
Take it from here.
extremely helpful
To determine the amount of cereal the box can hold, you need to find the volume of the box. The volume of a rectangular box can be calculated by multiplying its length, width, and height.
Given measurements:
Length = 8 inches
Width = 1.75 inches
Height = 12.125 inches
To find the volume of the cereal box, use the formula:
Volume = Length x Width x Height
Volume = 8 inches x 1.75 inches x 12.125 inches
First, multiply the length and width:
8 inches x 1.75 inches = 14 square inches
Then, multiply the result by the height:
14 square inches x 12.125 inches = 169.75 cubic inches
Therefore, the cereal box can hold approximately 169.75 cubic inches of cereal.
To find out how much cereal the box can hold, we need to calculate its volume.
The formula for calculating the volume of a rectangular box is:
Volume = length * width * height
Given that the length is 8 inches, the width is 1.75 inches, and the height is 12.125 inches, we can substitute these values into the formula:
Volume = 8 inches * 1.75 inches * 12.125 inches
To calculate this, we need to multiply the numbers together:
Volume = 141.5 cubic inches
Therefore, the cereal box will hold approximately 141.5 cubic inches of cereal.
Remember to always use the appropriate units when expressing the volume of a three-dimensional object. In this case, it is cubic inches.
