21 1/4 in.3
21 Start Fraction 1 over 4 End Fraction in cubed
1 1/4 in.3

11 1/2 in.3
11 Start Fraction 1 over 2 End Fraction in cubed
10 5/8 in.3
Using the formula V = B x h, where B is the area of the base and h is the height:
Base = length x width = (2 1/2) x (1/2) = 5/2 x 1/2 = 5/4 = 1 1/4
Volume = (1 1/4) x 8 1/2 = 1 1/4 x 17/2 = 17/2 x 5/4 = 21 1/4 in^3
Therefore, the volume of the pasta box is 21 1/4 in^3.
