V1 = 30 x 15 x 10 cm ³ = 4500 cm ³
V2 = 25 x 16 x 15 cm ³ = 6000 cm ³
Box 2 has larger volume.

Rectangular Box A Dimensions:
Length: 30 cm
Width: 15 cm
Height: 10 cm
Volume = Length x Width x Height
30 cm x 15 cm x 10 cm
4500 cubic cm.
Rectangular Box B Dimensions:
Length: 25 cm
Width: 16 cm
Height: 15 cm
Volume= Length x Width x Height
25 cm x 16 cm x 15 cm
6000 cubic cm.
Rectangular Box B has the greater volume since it is 1500 cubic centimeters more than Rectangular Box A.

volume of rectangle = L * W * H
rectangle # 1 = 30 * 15 * 10 = 4500
rectangle # 2 = 25 * 16 * 15 = 6000
The second rectangular box has a larger volume.

Box 1
30 x 15 x 10 = 4500 cm^3
Box 2
25 x 16 x 15 = 6000 cm^3
So box 2 has the larger volume.

You have 2 different boxes with different dimensions. The dimensions are given in the problem.
The question is which has a larger volume
Therefore you need to determine the volume of each box to determine which has the larger volume.
Remember volume is lenght x width x depth
box 1 volume is 30 x 15 x 10 cm^3
box 2 volume is 25 x 16 x15 cm ^3
you need to do the calc and see which is bigger

to have the volume of box 1, you have to multiply the length by the width, and then multiply the result by how deep it is:
(30 x 15)x 10
=450 x 10
=4500 cm3
same for box 2:
(25 x 16) x15
= 400 x 15
= 6000 cm3
the box with the largest volume is box 2

The second box!
Volume is the space inside the box
The formula is Length (l) x Width (w) x Height h
Therefore first box: 30 x 15 x 10 =4500 cm3
2nd box : 25 x 16 x 15 =6000 cm3

The volume of a rectangular box is the product of the three dimensions length, width, and depth. Simply compute the volume of each box and select the larger.

they want you to compute the volume of each of the 2 boxes, to see which is the largest box in terms of what it holds
You know,
Volume = length times width times height.
you then compare the 2 volumes. The box that has the larger ( greater) volume is the answer to the question.

its asking which of the two box is larger.
and you figure that out by finding out the volume.
and to find out the volume you multiply the width by the height by the depth.
so, for the first box : (30cm)(15cm)(10cm)=4500cm^3
second box; (25cm)(16cm)(15cm)=6000 cm^3.
so the second box is larger.
