Question

A juice box is 2 inches long 1.5 inches and 4 inches tall. A package has 6 juice boxes, a shipping box holds exactly 24 packages of juice boxes. What is the volume of the shipping box

Answer 1

`V=1,728\ in^3`

Explanation:

step 1

Find the volume of one juice box

The volume is equal to

`V=LWH`

where

`L=2\ in\\W=1.5\ in\\H=4\ in`

substitute the values in the formula

`V=(2)(1.5)(4)`

`V=12\ in^3`

step 2

Find the volume of one package

we know that

A package has 6 juice box

so

Multiply the volume of one juice box by 6

`V=6(12)=72\ in^3`

step 3

Find the volume of the shipping box

we know that

A shipping box holds exactly 24 packages of juice boxes

Multiply the volume of one package by 24

`V=24(72)=1,728\ in^3`
