We want to design a math problem, where we calculate a volume and the answer is 24.

So, we will try first to imagine a figure with an easy shape, so we can calculate its volume. Take for example a box

This box has dimensions length l, width w and height h. A box with this dimensions would have a volume of


l\cdot w\cdot h

Lets say that we want the volume to be 24. So we have the equation


l\cdot w\cdot h=24

Now, we want to choose numbers to each variable. Lets say what l=4, w=3. So we would have


4\cdot3\cdot h=24=12\cdot h

Then, by dividing both sides by 12 we get


h=(24)/(12)=2

So we know that a box with a length of 4, width of 3 and a height of 2 has a volume of 24. So the problem could be

what is the volume of a box of length 4, width 3 and height 2?
