Answer 2

The spaghetti box is 20 in cubed

Explanation:

To get volume, we multiply the length times width times the height. But, to make this easier, we can make 2/3 into a decimal. The decimal form is 0.666666667. Now, we can put the numbers into a calculator.

3 * 10 * 0.666666667 = 20

The spaghetti box is 20 in cubed
