Question from Karen, a parent:

Will 200 cubic centimeters of soil fit into the box?
8 CM by 6 CM and 4 CM deep

Karen,

The volume of a box is the length times the width times the height. Find the volume of the box and if it is smaller than 200 cubic centimeters the soil will not fit, otherwise it will fit.
