Answer:

The pasta fills up 90 cubic inches of the box.

Explanation:

In order to solve this problem, we need to use the formula h×w×l=v.

Let h represent height.

Let w represent width.

Let l represent length.

In this case, the box of pasta is 8 inches tall (h), 2.5 inches deep (l), and 6 inches wide (w).

8×2.5×6=120

Since the volume of the box is 120 cubic inches and the pasta only fills up 3/7, or 75% of the box, we can multiply 120×0.75 to find how many cubic inches the pasta fills up.

120×0.75=90

Therefore, the pasta fills up 90 cubic inches of the box.
