Question

After school, Carlos helps his mom at her cake shop, Love and Lace Cakes. Today, he is helping her bake a 3-layer wedding cake. Each layer will be 2 1/2 inches tall and shaped like a rectangular prism. The bottom layer will be 12 inches long and 10 inches wide. The middle layer will be 10 inches long and 8 inches wide. The top layer will be 8 inches long and 6 inches wide. What will the total volume of the wedding cake be?

Answer 1

Multiply length time width times height to find volume of each layer then add the volumes together

Answer 2

Height/length/Width
1st layer: 2 1/2 x 12 x 10
2nd layer: 2 1/2 x 10 x 8
3rd layer: 2 1/2 x 8 x 6
And to make the math easier, turn 2 1/2 into 2.5. They still equal the same thing, but this makes it easier to multiply. Hope this helps!
