Answer 1

$\begin{gathered} \\ \Large{\bf{\green{\underline{AnSwEr\::}}}} \\ \end{gathered}$

Volume of 12 match boxes = 180 cm³

$\begin{gathered} \\ \Large{\bf{\red{\underline{GiVeN\::}}}} \\ \end{gathered}$

• The length of the match box = 4 cm

• The breadth of the match box = 2.5 cm

• The height of the match box = 1.5 cm

$\begin{gathered} \\ \Large{\bf{\purple{\underline{To \: FiNd\::}}}} \\ \end{gathered}$

• Volume of 12 match boxes.

$\begin{gathered} \\ \Large{\bf{\pink{\underline{SoLuTiOn\::}}}} \\ \end{gathered}$

Volume of 1 match box = 4 cm × 2.5 cm × 1.5 cm

⇒ 15 cm³

Volume of 12 match boxes = 12 × Volume of 1 match box

⇒ 12 × 15 cm³

⇒ 180 cm³

Volume of 12 match boxes = 180 cm³.

Answer 2

Given :

• Length of Matchbox = 4 cm

• Breadth of Matchbox = 2.5 cm

• Height of Matchbox = 1.5 cm

• Number of Matchbox = 12

To Find :

• Total Volume of 12 boxes

Solution :

• Volume of Matchbox = L × B × H

→ 4 × 2.5 × 1.5

→ 10 × 1.5

→ 15 cm³

Volume of 1 Matchbox is 15 cm³ . But there are 15 Matchbox. So , multiply this volume by 12

→ 15 × 12

→ 180 cm³

Volume of 12 Matchbox is 180 cm³
