Question

A box of frozen hamburger measures 3 inches by 8 inches by 8 inches. the freezer can hold 50 boxes of frozen hamburger filling every inch.

how many cubic inches does the freezer measure?

Answer 1

• It can be assumed that the box is a rectangular shape
• the basic formula for calculating the volume of a rectangular shape is: length x width x height

The volume of 1 box:

V = 8 inches x 8 inches x 3 inches

V =
`192inches ^3`

• because the question states that the freezer can hold 50 boxes, we know that the volume of the freezer is equivalent to the volume of 50 boxes.

The volume of the Freezer:

V =
`(192inches^3)(50)`

`V = 9600 inches^3`
