Abookstore receives a shipment consisting of two boxes. there is no empty space in either of the boxes. the first box contains 16 books, each measuring 3/2 in by 8 in by 11 in. the second box contains 30 books, each measuring 3/4 in by 5 in by 8 in. explain which of the two boxes is larger and how you know. show your work to support your explanation.

To find the answer, I used:

Volume = Length • Height • Width

Each book in box 1 has a volume of 132 inches^3 and there are 16 of them, so I multiplied 132 inches^3 by 16 and got a total volume of 2,112 inches^3 in box 1

Each book in box 2 has a volume of 30 inches^3 and there are 30 of them, so I multiplied 30 inches^3 by 30 and got a total volume of 900 inches^3 in box 2

2,112 inches^3 is greater than 900 inches^3 so box 1 should be more than twice as big as box 2

question 1 is 8, question 2 is 9, question 3 is 24

step-by-step explanation:

now, the numbers they give you at the top are the key. from there, you just have to plug and chug! let's try 1, 2, and 3!

key: a=3, b=5, c=6

1. a+5

remember, a=3, so we plug that in to get 3+5=8

2. 15-c

c=6, so we plug that in to get 15-6=9

3. 4b

b=6, so we plug it in to get 4*6=24

time to try the rest on your own! if you put the answers below in a comment, i'll check them for you!
