Question

What is the volume of a snack box with white of one and 1/2 the length of two and one and 1/2 inches and the height of 4 inches

Answer 1

To find the volume of the snack box, we need to determine its dimensions based on the information provided and then apply the formula for the volume.

1. **Determine the dimensions of the box:**
- Length: One and a half inches = \(1.5\) inches.
- Width: Two and a half inches = \(2.5\) inches.
- Height: \(4\) inches.

2. **Volume formula:**
The volume \(V\) of a rectangular box is given by the formula:
\[
V = \text{length} \times \text{width} \times \text{height}
\]

3. **Calculate the volume:**
\[
V = 1.5 \, \text{inches} \times 2.5 \, \text{inches} \times 4 \, \text{inches}
\]

Start by multiplying the length and the width:
\[
1.5 \times 2.5 = 3.75 \, \text{square inches}
\]

Now multiply this by the height:
\[
3.75 \times 4 = 15 \, \text{cubic inches}
\]

Therefore, the volume of the snack box is \(15\) cubic inches.
