744 cubic inches I just got this I hope this helped you

Answer 2

744 cubic inches.

Explanation:

so first you find the area of each box, starting with the glass box.

7×9×12, gives you 756 inches cubed.

then the larger box of 10×10×15, gives you 1,500 inches cubed. then to find the peanut space, you simply take the difference, 1500-756= 744 cubic inches.
