what is the volume of a pasta box that is 2 1/2 in long 8 1/2 in tall and 1/2 in wide? apply the v = b x h formula to solve
A. 10 5/8 in3
B. 1 1/4 in3
C. 11 1/2 in3
D. 21 1/4 in3
To find the volume of the pasta box, you can use the formula V = l x w x h, where l = length, w = width, and h = height.
Given:
Length (l) = 2 1/2 in = 5/2 in
Width (w) = 1/2 in
Height (h) = 8 1/2 in = 17/2 in
Now, plug in the values into the formula:
V = (5/2) x (1/2) x (17/2)
V = 5/4 x 17/2
V = 85/8
V = 10 5/8 in^3
Therefore, the volume of the pasta box is 10 5/8 in^3. So, the correct answer is A. 10 5/8 in^3.
