Question

a cereal box is 8 1/2 inches long, 3 1/2 inches wide, and 12 inches high. what is the volume of the the box?

Answer 1

I think its 357 squared. Just multiply all of it together. I'd check the formula for finding volume if you want a reliable answer

Answer 2

Length of the cereal box = 8 1/2 inches
= 17/2 inches
Width of the cereal box = 3 1/2 inches
= 7/2 inches
Height of the cereal box = 12 inches
Then
Volume of the cereal box = Length * Width * Height
= (17/2) * (7/2) * 12 cubic inches
= 17 * 7 * 12 cubic inches
= 1428 cubic inches
