Okay, First Of all, the dude above me is wrong.

The Correct Answer Is 14 1/3

Explanation;

5 1/3 = 16/3

10 3/4 = 43/4

Now let's do the math:

43/4 * 5 1/3 = 688/12

688 divided by 12 = 57 R 4 = 57 4/12

57 4/12 = 57 1/3

57 1/3 divided by the number of servings (8) = 14 1/3

So, 14 1/3 is the amount of volume each serving takes up.

Answer:

About 14.33 inchesĀ²

Explanation:

To find the volume of the cereal box, we need to multiply the length, width, and height by each other:

2*5.33333...*10.75=114.66...

Now we divide the volume by the serving amount, 8.

114.66.../8=14.33...

Each serving is about 14.33 inĀ²
