Part 2: Find the volume of the shipping box using the total number of fish food cubes.
Step 1: Find the volume of the fish food cube. Remember to include units.

Volume of the fish food cube = _____ × _____ × _____ = __________

Step 2: Find the volume of the shipping box using your answer from Part 1. Remember to include units.

Volume of the shipping box = _____ × _____ = __________



Part 3: Find the volume of the shipping box using a volume formula. Remember to include units.

V = l × w × h = _____ × _____ × _____ = __________


Are your answers for the volume of the shipping box in Parts 2 and 3 equal? Why or why not?

Answer 1

Answer:

The volume of a container is the amount of space in it.

The number of cubes on the edges are: 15, 12 and 13

The number of fish cubes in the box is: 2340

From the complete question (see attachment), we have the following parameters

Fish cubes

Shipping box

(a) The number of cubes on the edges

To do this, we simply the dimensions of the boxes, by the length of the fish cube

So, we have:

Hence, the number of cubes on the edges are: 15, 12 and 13

(b) The total number of cubes in the shipping box

To do this, we multiply the results of the computation in (a)

So, we have:

Hence, the number of fish cubes in the box is: 2340
