Answer 1

735 cubic inches of soil

Explanation:

• First we have to calculate the total volume of the flower box. Since the flower box has the shape of a rectangular prism, the volume would be length x width x height.

Volume = (10)(6)(14) = 840 cubic inches.

• Jason will fill the flower box 7/8 full of soil. To find how many cubic inches of soil will be in the flower box, we are going to multiply the total volume by 7/8.

Total cubic inches of soil = (840)(7/8) = 735 cubic inches of soil.
