Answer:1432.842 cubic inches

Explanation:

Answer 2

To find the volume of the cereal box, we multiply the length, width, and height:

12 inches * 7 and 3/4 inches * 2 inches = 96 inches * 7.75 inches * 2 inches = 1458 cubic inches

To find the volume of the pastry box, we multiply the length, width, and height:

3 and 2/3 inches * 3 and 1/2 inches * 2 and 1/3 inches = 3.666 inches * 3.5 inches * 2.333 inches = 25.158 cubic inches

To find the difference in volume between the two boxes, we subtract the volume of the pastry box from the volume of the cereal box:

1458 cubic inches - 25.158 cubic inches = 1432.842 cubic inches

So the difference in volume between the two boxes is 1432.842 cubic inches.
