3. A box of oat cereal measures 24 centimeters long by 5 centimetérs Wide by 25 centimeters high. A box of rice cereal measures 26 centimeters long by 4 centimeters wide by 28 centimeters high. Which box has the greater volume? How much greater?

To determine which box has the greater volume and how much greater, we need to calculate the volume of each box and then compare them. The volume of a box is given by the formula: \[ \text{Volume} = \text{Length} \times \text{Width} \times \text{Height} \] For the box of oat cereal: - Length = 24 cm - Width = 5 cm - Height = 25 cm For the box of rice cereal: - Length = 26 cm - Width = 4 cm - Height = 28 cm Let's calculate the volume of each box and then compare them. Calculate the value by following steps: - step0: Calculate: \(24\times 5\times 25\) - step1: Multiply the terms: \(120\times 25\) - step2: Multiply the numbers: \(3000\) Calculate or simplify the expression \( 26*4*28 \). Calculate the value by following steps: - step0: Calculate: \(26\times 4\times 28\) - step1: Multiply the terms: \(104\times 28\) - step2: Multiply the numbers: \(2912\) The volume of the box of oat cereal is 3000 cubic centimeters, and the volume of the box of rice cereal is 2912 cubic centimeters. Since 3000 is greater than 2912, the box of oat cereal has a greater volume. The difference in volume is 3000 - 2912 = 88 cubic centimeters.
