First we need to know how much each pen costs. So we take 11.77 and divide it by 11. That gives us 1.07 per pen. So answer choice A has 4 pens for 4.44, so we need to multiply 1.07 x 4. That gives you 4.28, so we know that isn't the correct answer. For option B, we need to multiply 1.07 x 5. That is 5.35, so that also can't be the answer. For C, we need to do 1.07 x 6, and that gives us 6.42. So we know the correct answer is option C.
The correct answer would be 0.1
Given:
2 rectangular prism.
same height
square bases
Box A Box B
Square Base side 2 ft 0.75 ft
Height 4 ft 4 ft
Solving for the space inside each rectangular prism, we need to find its volume.
Volume of a rectangular prism = length * width * height
Box A:
Volume = 2 ft * 2 ft * 4 ft = 16 cubic feet
Box B:
Volume = 0.75 ft * 0.75 ft * 4 ft = 2.25 cubic feet
Box A - Box B = difference in space
16 cubic feet - 2.25 cubic feet = 13.75 cubic feet
Box A contains 13.75 cubic feet more space than Box B.
