there's two boxes BOX A and BOX B
the angles from BOX A is 16 in, 4 in, and 10 in the amount of money it costs is $6.00
the angles from BOX B is 2 in, 8 in, and 10 in the amount of money it costs is $2.00
Which box gives you more cereal for your money?
First, solve for the volume of each box of cereal. FORMULA SHEET
Second, find the UNIT PRICE for each box. PRICE/Cubic Inch. DO NOT ROUND. WRITE OUT ALL OF THE DECIMALS.
Third compare the prices. Which box of cereal is cheaper per cubic inch?
Volume Box A = __ in^3
Volume Box B = __ in^3
Box A Price per cubic unit ($/in^3) = $__ per in^3
Box B Price per cubic unit ($/in^3) = $__ per in^3
Which box is cheaper per cubic unit? Type A or B __
To find the volume of each box of cereal, we can use the formula for the volume of a rectangular prism, which is length x width x height.
For Box A:
Volume = 16 x 4 x 10 = 640 cubic inches
For Box B:
Volume = 2 x 8 x 10 = 160 cubic inches
To find the unit price for each box, we divide the price by the volume.
For Box A:
Price per cubic unit = $6.00 / 640 in^3 ≈ $0.009375 per in^3
For Box B:
Price per cubic unit = $2.00 / 160 in^3 = $0.0125 per in^3
Therefore, Box A is cheaper per cubic unit.
