Answer:
The amount by which the sugar canister is smaller than the flour canister is 136 in³
Explanation:
The dimensions of the flour canister = 5 and 1/2 inches by 4 inches by 10 inches
(5 and 1/2 = (5 1/2))
(3 and 1/2 = (3 1/2))
The dimensions of the smaller sugar canister = 3 and 1/2 inches by 3 inches by 8 inches
The volume of the rectangular prism = Length × Width × Height
∴ The volume of the flour canister = (5 1/2) × 4× 10 = 220 in.³
The volume of the sugar canister = (3 1/2) × 3 × 8= 84 in.³
The difference in volume between the flour canister and the sugar canister is given as follows;
220 in.³ - 84 in.³ = 136 in.³
The amount by which the sugar canister is smaller than the flour canister = 136 in.³.
