Question

Mariel says that a jewelry box that is 3 inches high, 4 1/2 inches wide, and 5 inches long has a volume of 67 1/2 inches. Katie says that answer is not quite correct. What is the error in Mariel's answer?

Answer 1

Answer: inside width, length and heights may be smaller

Step-by-step explanation. Walls of box have certain thickness, assume 0.1 inches. Then inner measures would be 2.8 in, 4.3 in and 4.8 in. You need to reduce thickness of wall from both sides.
