Question

jeff put a small box that is 12 inches long by 8 inches wide by 4 inches tall inside a box that is 20 inches long by 15 inches wide by 9 inches high. how much space is left in the larger box

Answer 1

space=bigV-smallV

V=LWH
bigV=20*15*9=2700 in^3
smallV=12*8*4=384 in^3

space=2700-384=2316 in^3

Answer 2

20 - 12 is 8 so 8 inches long are left and 15-8 is 7 and 9-4 is 5 so 8+7+5 is 19

so 8 inches long by 7 inches wide and 5 inches high but 19 inches in total
