Answer:
2)To find the volume of the large box, we first need to calculate the volume of the small box. The volume of a rectangular box is given by the formula:
Volume = Length × Width × Height
For the small box:
Volume = 8 inches × 4 inches × 2 inches = 64 cubic inches
Now, since the total volume of both boxes is 212 cubic inches, and we know the volume of the small box is 64 cubic inches, we can find the volume of the large box:
Volume of large box = Total volume - Volume of small box
Volume of large box = 212 cubic inches - 64 cubic inches = 148 cubic inches
So, the volume of the large box is 148 cubic inches.
