Xavier has two different boxes left to pack
before his move. Box 1 has a volume of
3,375 cubic centimeters. Box 2 has a volume
of 1,728 cubic centimeters. What is the total
volume of space, in cubic centimeters, that
Xavier has available to pack?



Answer :

To find the total volume of space that Xavier has available to pack, we simply need to add the volumes of the two boxes together.

Let's break it down step-by-step:

1. We know from the problem statement that:
- Box 1 has a volume of 3,375 cubic centimeters.
- Box 2 has a volume of 1,728 cubic centimeters.

2. To find the total volume, we add the volumes of both boxes:
[tex]\[ \text{Total volume} = \text{Volume of Box 1} + \text{Volume of Box 2} \][/tex]

3. Substituting the given values:
[tex]\[ \text{Total volume} = 3,375 \, \text{cm}^3 + 1,728 \, \text{cm}^3 \][/tex]

4. Perform the addition:
[tex]\[ 3,375 + 1,728 = 5,103 \][/tex]

Therefore, the total volume of space that Xavier has available to pack is 5,103 cubic centimeters.
