Question

Mary has three baking pans. Each pan is 8" × 8" × 3". Which expression will give her the total volume of the pans?

Answer 1

Answer: An expression
`3 * (8 * 8 * 3)` will give her the total volume of the pans.

Explanation:

Given: Length = 8 inch

Width = 8 inch

Height = 8 inch

Formula to calculate the volume of rectangular pans is as follows.

`Volume = length * width * height\\`

Substitute the values into above formula as follows.

`Volume = length * width * height\\= 8 * 8 * 3 in^(3)\\= 192 in^(3)`

Therefore, volume of each pan is 192 cubic inch. As there are three baking pans so total volume of the pans is as follows.

`3 * 192 in^(3)\\= 576 in^(3)`

Thus, we can conclude that an expression
`3 * (8 * 8 * 3)` will give her the total volume of the pans.
