Answer:

To find the height of the box, we need to use the formula for the volume of a rectangular prism:

Volume = length x width x height

We know the volume is 12.5 cm3 and the length and width of each card are 1.25 cm and 2.5 cm, respectively. Let's plug these values into the formula and solve for the height:

12.5 = 1.25 x 2.5 x height

Dividing both sides by 1.25 x 2.5 gives:

12.5 ÷ 1.25 ÷ 2.5 = height

Simplifying:

4 = height

Therefore, the height of the box of game cards is 4 cm.
