Answer:

Yellow Bin

Explanation:

Yellow Bin

Length = 11.4 inches,

Width = 4.2 inches,

Height =
(8)/(3)

Volume of the yellow bin=LWH
=11.4 X 4.2 X (8)/(3)=127.68 \:cubic \:inches

Red Bin

Length = 9 inches,

Width = 5.45 inches,

Height =
(11)/(5)

Volume of the red bin=LWH
=9X 5.45 X (11)/(5)=107.91 \:cubic \:inches

The yellow bin has a greater volume since 127.68 is greater than 107.91.
