B is the answer. It's any number that is less than 2 and -1 will become 1 because it's the absolute value.
Whats the question?
Please be more specific
It is irrational, as it's not a number that can be divided into a whole number by another whole number.
If the problem says "space", that usually means that they are talking about volume. The maximum length the box can be is 8.4 inches. To find volume, you do length * width * height. You know the length and height, as well as the volume. You can replace the width with "x". Your equation should be:
11.5 * 8.4 * x = 272.8
Then you can just solve for x by dividing both sides by (11.5 * 8.4). The answer should be about 2.82 inches.
