Question

1. gaby has two boxes stacked on a shelf in her attic. what is the total volume of the boxes? a 192 cubic inches b. 300 cubic inches c. 392 cubic inches d. 492 cubic inches

Explanation:

Step1: Calculate volume of first box

Volume of a rectangular box is \(V = l\times w\times h\). For the first box with \(l = 6\) inches, \(w=4\) inches, \(h = 8\) inches.
\(V_1=6\times4\times8=192\) cubic inches.

Step2: Calculate volume of second box

For the second box with \(l = 15\) inches, \(w = 4\) inches, \(h=5\) inches.
\(V_2=15\times4\times5 = 300\) cubic inches.

Step3: Calculate total volume

Total volume \(V=V_1 + V_2\).
\(V=192+300=492\) cubic inches.

Answer:

D. 492 cubic inches
