Question

You are packing a boxed gift in a larger shipping box. The dimensions of the shipping box are all 1.3 times the dimensions of the boxed gift. The volume of the shipping box is 4394 cubic centimeters. What volume of the shipping box is not taken up by the gift box?

Answer 1

Answer: 2394

Explanation:

Answer 2

2394 cubic centimeters

Explanation:

If all of the dimensions of the shipping box are 1.3 times that of the gift, then the volume of the box is 1.3^3=2.197 times that of the gift. Dividing this by the volume of the box, you get a volume of 2000 cubic centimeters for the volume of the gift. Subtracting this from the volume of the box, you get 2394 cubic centimeters of unused space. Hope this helps!
