Question 777885: A company needs boxes to hold a stack of 8.5 by 11 inch papers. If they would like the volume of the box to be 500 cubic inches, what should be the height of the box? Round to the nearest tenth.

Volume of a cuboid = length*breadth*height
500ins^3 = 8.5*11*h
93.5h = 500
h = 500/93.5
h = 5.4ins.
Hope this helps.
