First, we need to convert all the dimensions to the same unit, so let's convert the fractions to decimals:
Length = 2.5 in
Height = 8.5 in
Width = 0.5 in
Now, we can plug these values into the formula V = B x h, where B is the base area and h is the height:
Base Area (B) = Length x Width
B = 2.5 in x 0.5 in
B = 1.25 in^2
Volume (V) = Base Area x Height
V = 1.25 in^2 x 8.5 in
V = 10.625 in^3
So, the volume of the pasta box is 10 5/8 cubic inches.
Length = 2.5 in
Height = 8.5 in
Width = 0.5 in
Now, we can plug these values into the formula V = B x h, where B is the base area and h is the height:
Base Area (B) = Length x Width
B = 2.5 in x 0.5 in
B = 1.25 in^2
Volume (V) = Base Area x Height
V = 1.25 in^2 x 8.5 in
V = 10.625 in^3
So, the volume of the pasta box is 10 5/8 cubic inches.
