To find the volume of a rectangular box, you use the formula for the volume of a rectangular prism:
\[ \text{Volume} = \text{length} \times \text{width} \times \text{height} \]
Given the dimensions of the cereal box are:
- Length = 8 inches
- Width = 1.5 inches
- Height = 11 inches
Applying the formula:
\[ \text{Volume} = 8 \, \text{inches} \times 1.5 \, \text{inches} \times 11 \, \text{inches} \]
Calculating step by step:
1. \( 8 \times 1.5 = 12 \)
2. \( 12 \times 11 = 132 \)
So, the volume of the cereal box is \( 132 \) cubic inches.
Therefore, the correct answer is:
\[ 132 \]
1. A cereal box has roughly the following dimensions: 8 in. x 1.5 in. x 11 in.
