Question

20. Jill is going to mail a care package to her brother in the military. She has two cardboard boxes. Which box would hold more? (Hint: which box has a greater volume?) Box #1 - length 48 cm, width 22 cm, height 30 cm Box #2 - length 32 cm, width 18 cm, height 40 cm​

Answer 1

Answer: Box #1 has a greater volume and would hold more than Box #2.

Step-by-step explanation: To determine which box would hold more, we need to calculate the volume of each box.

The volume of Box #1 is:

48 cm x 22 cm x 30 cm = 31,680 cubic cm

The volume of Box #2 is:

32 cm x 18 cm x 40 cm = 23,040 cubic cm

Therefore, Box #1 has a greater volume and would hold more than Box #2.
