. What are the widths of Kyle and Myla's boxes? Explain how you know.

Answer 1

To find the width of Kyle and Myla's boxes, we can use the formula for volume:

Volume = Length x Width x Height

For Kyle's box:
12 = 2 x Width x 3
Simplifying, we get:
4 = Width x 3
Therefore,
Width = 4/3 ft

For Myla's box:
16 = 2 x Width x 4
Simplifying, we get:
4 = Width x 4
Therefore,
Width = 1 ft

So Kyle's box has a width of 4/3 ft and Myla's box has a width of 1 ft.

I used the formula for volume and solved for the width by dividing both sides by the product of the length and height. This gave me the width for each box.
