25.3 ____ 25.16
○ >
○ <
○ =

Explanation:

First Problem (Empty Space Calculation)

Step1: Identify formula for empty space

Empty space = Box volume - Poster volume.

Step2: Substitute values

Box volume = 150 cubic inches, Poster volume = 113.04 cubic inches. So, empty space = \( 150 - 113.04 \).

Step3: Calculate the result

\( 150 - 113.04 = 36.96 \).

To compare 25.3 and 25.16, look at the tenths place. 25.3 has 3 in the tenths place, 25.16 has 1 in the tenths place. Since 3 > 1, 25.3 > 25.16.

Answer:

36.96 cubic inches
