Question

Bruce bought an enormous box of orange juice with dimensions 20 cm by 10 cm by 30 cm. Calculate the volume of the orange juice box, hence find the amount of orange juice that the box can hold in litres.

A. Volume = 6000 cm³, Amount = 6 liters
B. Volume = 6000 cm³, Amount = 60 liters
C. Volume = 600 cm³, Amount = 60 liters
D. Volume = 600 cm³, Amount = 6 liters

Answer 1

The volume of the orange juice box is 6000 cm³ and it can hold 6 liters of orange juice.

Step-by-step explanation:

The volume of the orange juice box can be calculated by multiplying its length by its width and its height. In this case, the dimensions are 20 cm by 10 cm by 30 cm. So, the volume of the box is 20 cm x 10 cm x 30 cm = 6000 cm³.

To find the amount of orange juice the box can hold in liters, we need to convert the volume from cubic centimeters (cm³) to liters (L). Since 1 liter is equal to 1000 cm³, we divide the volume by 1000:

6000 cm³ ÷ 1000 = 6 L.

Therefore, the volume of the orange juice box is 6000 cm³ and it can hold 6 liters of orange juice.
