ft by 5 ft by 3 ft. Whose box can hold more t-shirts? By how much?
Jim by 5 cubic feet
Paul by 3 cubic feet
Jim by 3 cubic feet Paul by 5 cubic fe

Answer 1

Jim's box hold more t-shirts by 3 cubic feet

Explanation:

Jim's box length = 2 feet

Jim's box breadth = 4 feet

Jim's box height = 6 feet

Volume of box =
`Length * Breadth * Height = 2 * 4 * 6 = 48 feet^3`

Paul's box length = 3 feet

Paul's box breadth =5 feet

Paul's box height = 3 feet

Volume of box =
`Length * Breadth * Height =3 * 5 * 3 = 45 feet^3`

So,Jim's box hold more t shirts by (48-45 = 3 cubic feet )

So, Option C is true

Jim's box hold more t-shirts by 3 cubic feet
