Answer 1

Answer:

Jim's box hold more t-shirts by 3 cubic feet

Step-by-step explanation:

Jim's box length = 2 feet

Jim's box breadth = 4 feet

Jim's box height = 6 feet

Volume of box =$Length \times Breadth \times Height = 2 \times 4 \times 6 = 48 feet^3$

Paul's box length = 3 feet

Paul's box breadth =5 feet

Paul's box height = 3 feet

Volume of box =$Length \times Breadth \times Height =3 \times 5 \times 3 = 45 feet^3$

So,Jim's box hold more t shirts by (48-45 = 3 cubic feet )

So, Option C is true

Jim's box hold more t-shirts by 3 cubic feet
