what is the volume of a pasta box. that is 2 1/2 in. long 8 1/2 tall,and 1/2 in.wide? apply the v=bxh formula to solve
To find the volume of the pasta box, we can use the formula for the volume of a rectangular prism: V = l x w x h, where l is the length, w is the width, and h is the height of the box.
Given:
Length (l) = 2 1/2 inches = 2.5 inches
Width (w) = 1/2 inch = 0.5 inches
Height (h) = 8 1/2 inches = 8.5 inches
Now plug these values into the formula:
V = (2.5) x (0.5) x (8.5)
V = 1.25 x 0.5 x 8.5
V = 5.3125 cubic inches
Therefore, the volume of the pasta box is 5.3125 cubic inches.
