Question

A preschool is shopping for its sandbox. Box A is 9 inches wide by 13 inches long by 15 inches high.Box B is 6 inches wide by 12 inches long by 20 inches high. Which box has more sand ? Apply formula v=BxH to solve. Show your work

Answer 1

First, we need to calculate the volume of each box using the formula V = B x H, where B is the area of the base and H is the height of the box.

For Box A:
V = 9 x 13 x 15
V = 1755 cubic inches

For Box B:
V = 6 x 12 x 20
V = 1440 cubic inches

Therefore, Box A has more sand because it has a larger volume of 1755 cubic inches compared to Box B's volume of 1440 cubic inches.
