Box 1:
4ft
3ft

Box 2:

2ft
Answered by Ms. Sue
Since each box costs the same amount to ship, they'd both cost the same.

Answered by Lilly
Okay but what does it mean to be more cost effective? Thanks Ms.Sue
Answered by Ms. Sue
Which one will allow you to ship the larger box for the amount of money.

Find the volume for each box. The larger one would be more cost effective.

V = LWH

Answered by Lilly
Okay so box 2 ?

2.5 + 5 + 2 = 25

4 + 3 + 2 = 24

:D

Answered by Lilly
I meant 1.
Answered by Ms. Sue
Box 2 is 1 cubic foot larger, so you can put more stuff in it. It's the more cost effective.
