Question

A cereal company recently redesigned their box. The old box had a volume of 162.5 square inches. The new box is 12 inches long, 7.5 inches wide, and 2.5 inches deep. Does the newer or older box have a larger volume to store cereal? Explain your answer.

Answer 1

The newer box has a larger volume.

The formula is LxWxH

So
$7.5 \times 2.5 = 18.75$
Then
$18.75 \times 12 = 225$
$225 > 162.5$
HOPE THIS HELPS!!!
