Volume = 200
Length = 200/(10*5)= 4 inches

Answer:

Length of the box should be 4 inches.

Explanation:

A cracker company wants to make a rectangle box to hold their crackers.

They want the height of the box as 10 inches and width to to be 5 inches.

Volume of the box to be 200 cubic inches.

As we know volume of a rectangle box is calculated by the formula

Volume = length × height × width

So by putting the values of volume, width and height we can calculate the length of the box.

200 = length × 10 × 5

200 = 50×length

length =
(200)/(50)=4

Therefore, length of the box should be 4 inches.
