Question

Joe is building a fort for his little brother out of boxes. He is wondering how much room there will be inside the fort. The dimensions of the boxes are: 0.75 m x 0.5 m x 0.5 m, 1.5 m x 1 m x 1.5 m. What is the total space inside the fort? Give your answer in cubic meters (m³).

Answer 1

The total space inside the fort is 2.4375 cubic meters.

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the total space inside the fort, we need to calculate the volume of each box and then add them together.

The volume of the first box is 0.75 m x 0.5 m x 0.5 m = 0.1875 m³.

The volume of the second box is 1.5 m x 1 m x 1.5 m = 2.25 m³.

Adding the volumes of the two boxes, we get a total volume of 0.1875 m³ + 2.25 m³ = 2.4375 m³.

Therefore, the total space inside the fort is 2.4375 cubic meters.
