Answer:

13366.25in cubed

Explanation:

To find the volume of a rectangular prism, you need the formula:

V = (L × H) × W

Luckily, L × H is the base of the shape. So we can change it into:

V = B × W

Step 1

Plug in the values! That’s what we do everytime!

V = 314.5 × 8.5

Step 2

Multiply 314.5 by 8.5.

V = 2673.25

BUT ITS NOT THE ANSWER YET!

Step 3

Because you need to find the volume of 5 of the boxes, multiply 2673.25 by 5.

2673.25 × 5 = 13366.25

Thus, the volume of 5 of the boxes is 13366.25in cubed.

Volume is base x height, and since you have 5 boxes, it’s the volume of 1 box, times 5. The base area x the height is 2,673.25, and when you multiply this by 5, you get 13,366.35 cubic inches.
