Answer:

384 3/4

341 1/4

box A

Explanation:

The volume of the box is given by the formula:

Volume = length * width * height

The volume of the box A is:

Volume_A = 9.5 * 3 * 13.5 = 384.75 cm3 = 384 3/4 cm3

The volume of the box B is:

Volume_B = 10 * 3.25 * 10.5 = 341.25 cm3 = 341 1/4 cm3

The volume of the box A is greater than the volume of the box B, so Megan should use the box A
