The answer can be found by subtract the volume of the small box from the volume of big box.
Volume of the small box:
12*8*4= 384 inches cube
Volume of the big box:
20*15*9= 2700 inches cube
The space left:
2700 - 384 = 2316 inches cube
Answer:-2 minus square root 3
Step-by-step explanation:
The multiplicative inverse of a number is the number when you multiply it, it gives you the product of 1.
So for - 27, what number will give us 1 when we multiply it by -27
-27 * -1/27 = 1
So the multiplicative inverse of -27 = -1/27
7/9 * 9/7 = 1
-9/16 * -16/9 = 1
So in essence, just take the number and flip it
-27 = -1 / 27
7/9 = 9/7
-9/16 = -16/9
