=> B) The amount of popcorn that fits in a particular container.
<h2><u>Explanation:</u></h2>
=> The amount of space that a substance or object occupies, or that is enclosed within a container is known as <u>volume.</u><u> </u> The first & third option measures the surface area while the fourth option measures the distance covered. Thus, the second option (b) is the correct answer.
B. The amount of popcorn that fits in a particular container.
Step-by-step explanation:
Volume is the amount of space that is inside a three dimensional shape. In other words we need a box/container that has empty space in it. That space is the volume. Knowing this we can start eliminating answer. First we can eliminate answer D. This answer makes no sense when comparing it to what is needed for volume. Answer D has to do with distance. Then we can eliminate answer C. This answer does can not work because it says "square inches". This means that it is either the area of a two dimensional shape or it could be the outside of a three dimensional shape. Answer A. is like answer C. It is the outside of a shape and not the inside. That leaves us with answer B. Answer B says "that fits in a particular container". From this we can see that they are fitting something inside a container. These are the key words for volume.
