The box is 8 1/2 inches wide, 5 inches long, and 5 1/2 inches tall. What is the volume of the box in the cubic inches?
A. 19 cubic inches
B. 233 3/4 cubic inches
C. 200 1/4 cubic inches
D. 99 cubic inches
To find the volume of the box, we multiply the length, width, and height.
8 1/2 inches = 8.5 inches
5 1/2 inches = 5.5 inches
Volume = 8.5 inches * 5 inches * 5.5 inches = 233.75 cubic inches.
Therefore, the correct answer is B. 233 3/4 cubic inches.
