Answer 1

Answer:

8 in in height

Step-by-step explanation:

First, you have to find the volume of the first box, so you use the formula V=LWH. Then you plug in the numbers 2, 6, 10 and then you multiply from left to right. The volume for the 1st box is 120. Second, you try to find the missing value of the 2nd box so you plug in the numbers in the formula (120=3*5*H). Lastly, you multiply 3 times 5, then since your trying to find the height, you divide 15 out of 120. And then you get your answer. :)
