Question

There are two boxes of cereal in the shape of rectangular prisms on a shelf. The

dimensions of each box of cereal are listed below.

. Box B has a height of 25 centimeters, a length of 19 centimeters,
and a width of 6 centimeters.

• Box A has a height of 25 centimeters, a length of 20 centimeters,
and a width of 9 centimeters.

What is the difference in volume, in cubic centimeters, between the two boxes of cereal?

A 1,650

B 3,900

C 4,500

D 7,350

Answer 1

1650 Cubic Centimeters

Explanation:

To get the volume of the cereal boxes, you must multiply their 3 dimensions together.

Box A:

25×20=500

500×9=4500

Box B:

25×19=475

475×6=2850

Now, to find the difference of these volumes, you want to subtract the smaller volume from the larger volume.

4500-2850=1650

The answer is 1650 cubic centimeters.
