Question

Amanda and Mary each have a box of popcorn.
How much more popcorn does Amanda's box hold than Mary's box?

Answer 1

Solution

Volume is a way for finding the difference in capacity of pop corn container

Where Cuboid Volume is represented by Length * Breadth*Height

So,

Amanda's popcorn containers volume is

= 13.5 × 10 × 10 cubic centimetre

= 1350 cm³

Mary's popcorn containers volume is

= 20 × 8 × 8 cubic centimetre

= 1280 cm³

Difference between capacity = Mary's container - Amanda's container

= 1350 - 1280

= 70 cm³

Volume of Amanda's container is more than Mary's by 70 cm³.
