Question

A block of ice is in the shape of a rectangular prism. The ice block has a volume of 9,600 cubic inches. After being in a warm area, the size of the block is now 18 inches by 12 inches by 20 inches.

What is the difference between the volume of the ice block before and after it melted?

Answer 1

5280 cubic inches

Explanation:

V= l * w * h

V= 18 * 12 * 20

V= 4320 cubic inches

Then do the first measurement subtracted by the second one because it wants to know the difference.

9600 - 4320 = 5280 cubic inches
