A paper manufacturer packages twelve reams of paper in a box—in three stacks of four reams. A ream of paper weighs 5 pounds and has dimensions of 8.5 inches by 11 inches by 2 inches. What is the volume of the current-sized box? a0 cubic inches

Answer 1

The answer is 2244 in3. hope this helps☻♥.

Answer 2

Volume of the box =
`2244inches^(3)`

Explanation:

Given

Number of reams in one stack = 4

Number of stacks in the box = 3

Dimensions of a ream = 8.5 inches, 11 inches and 2 inches respectively

To find

Volume of one ream = Length × Breadth × Height

= 8.5 × 11 × 2

=
`187 in^(3)`

Volume of all the four reams in one stack = 187 × 4

=
`748in^(3)`

Volume of all the three stacks in the box = 748 × 3

=
`2244in^(3)`

∴ Volume of the box =
`2244inches^(3)`
