Ashley is stacking two boxes on a shelf. The bottom box measures 6 inches long, 5 inches wide, and 5 inches high. The top box is a cube with one edge measuring 4 inches. What is the volume of this stack. Show your work and explain.

The first box is 6 x 5 x 5, or 150 cu.ins. The top box is a cube whose edges measure 4 inches each; or 4 x 4 x 4, which gives us 64 cu. ins. So, the total value is 150+64, or 214 cu. ins. ☺☺☺☺
