How have you started these problems?

Where did you get stuck?
this whole thing makes no sense to me. can you please answer it?
The major part of this problem involves volume.

The volume of a rectangular prism is:
V = l * w * h
Since the bottom layer is 2 inches deep --
V = 24 * 14 * 2
V = 672 cubic inches

Now figure out the volume of each of the other two layers.
