Question

Nellie just bought a new perfume called Rose Honey. It comes in a bottle shaped like a rectangular prism. The bottle is 4 centimeters long, 2 centimeters wide, and 7 centimeters tall, but the perfume's box says the bottle only contains 45 milliliters, or 45 cubic centimeters, of perfume.

How many more milliliters of perfume would it take to completely fill the bottle?
Write your answer as a whole number or decimal. Do not round.

Answer 1

7 times 2 times 4 - 45

56-45= 11

Answer 2

It would take 11 milliliters of perfume to completely fill the bottle.

Explanation:

The volume of the rectangular prism-shaped bottle can be calculated by multiplying its length, width, and height. Therefore, the bottle's volume is:

4 cm x 2 cm x 7 cm = 56 cubic centimeters

The bottle contains 45 cubic centimeters of perfume, so the amount of additional perfume needed to completely fill the bottle is:

56 cubic centimeters - 45 cubic centimeters = 11 cubic centimeters

Therefore, it would take 11 more milliliters of perfume to completely fill the bottle. Since 1 cubic centimeter is equal to 1 milliliter, the answer is simply 11 milliliters.
