Question

The maximum quantity of milk that the given container can hold is cu in.

• A. 12
• B. 15
• C. 16
• D. 23

Answer 1

The correct option is D 23

The maximum quantity of milk the given container can hold is the volume of the container.

Volume of the container = Volume of 2 rectangular prisms

$\text{Volume of rectangular prism A =}length\times width\times height$
$=3\times 1\times 5$
$=15\text{cu in}$

Similarly,
$\text{Volume of rectangular prism B =}length\times width\times height$
$=4\times 1\times 2$
$=8\text{cu in}$

Total volume = Volume of A + Volume of B
= 15 + 8
= 23 cu in
