Mia put two gifts in a box then fill the box with styrofoam peanuts
The dimensions of the shopping box were 12 in by 5 in by 5 in 1 gift was a puzzle cube with a sign length of 4 in one gift was a card game that was in a box dimensions of 6 in by 4 in x 4 and 1/2 in
What is the volume of the Styrofoam peanuts in the shopping box
Express your answer in cubic inches
First, we need to calculate the volume of the two gifts in the shopping box.
Volume of puzzle cube = 4 in x 4 in x 4 in = 64 cubic inches
Volume of card game box = 6 in x 4 in x 4.5 in = 108 cubic inches
Total volume of gifts = 64 + 108 = 172 cubic inches
Now, we need to calculate the volume of the shopping box.
Volume of shopping box = 12 in x 5 in x 5 in = 300 cubic inches
Now, we subtract the volume of the gifts from the volume of the shopping box to find the volume of the Styrofoam peanuts.
Volume of Styrofoam peanuts = 300 - 172 = 128 cubic inches
Therefore, the volume of the Styrofoam peanuts in the shopping box is 128 cubic inches.
