Answer:

If a box has a greater volume, it can hold more cereal.

Box 2 can hold more cereal. Although the value of x is unknown, it represents a length, so it must be greater than zero. For any x > 1, the volume of Box 2 is greater than the volume of Box 1.

The <em><u>correct answer</u></em> is:

Box 2

Explanation:

In these expressions, x represents the width of the box.  We are asked about widths greater than 1; let's us 1.1 as an example:

Box 1:

3(1.1⁵) = 4.83153

Box 2:

4(1.1⁵)-(1.1⁴) = 6.44204 - 1.4641 = 4.97794

With a difference as small as a tenth, the volume of box 2 is larger.  The larger the difference in width, the larger the difference in volume, and the volume of box 2 will be larger every time.

The reciprocal of 1/5 is 5.

Reciprocals are numbers than when multiplied equal a product of 1.  In this question, 1/5 * 5 = 1.  An easy trick for finding reciprocals is flipping a fraction.
