The manager correctly finds the volume of the container using the formula V = lwh, where l = 7/2 ft, w = 3/2 ft, and h = 3/2 ft.
The employee double checks the calculations by packaging the container full of Bento boxes. To find the volume of the container filled with Bento boxes, the employee also uses the formula V = lwh, where l = 7/2 ft, w = 3/2 ft, and h = 3/2 ft.
Both the manager's and employee's calculations should result in the same volume for the container.
A company makes Japanese style lunchboxes called Bento boxes. Each Bento box is a cube with 1/2 foot long edges and the company ships that bento boxes in a container in the shape of a rectangular prism that measures 7/2 ft by 3/2ft by 3/2 ft A manager correctly finds the volume of the container, using a formula and employee double check the calculations by pack packaging the container full of Bento boxes.
