Answer 1

C. Box B

Explanation:

You want to know which of these two boxes has a volume greater than 9.5 ft³:

• Box A: 3 ft by 2 ft by 1.5 ft
• Box B: 2.5 ft by 2 ft by 2 ft

Volume

The volume of each box is found by multiplying its dimensions:

Box A: (3 ft)(2 ft)(1.5 ft) = 9 ft³

Box B: (2.5 ft)(2 ft)(2 ft) = 10 ft³

Only box B is large enough, choice C.
