closed box with lid outside dimesions are l=25 in, w=16 in, and h=11 in. The material wall is (0.5) in thick.
A. Determine the inside volume of box in cubic inches?
B. Determine the inside volume of box in cubic centimeters?
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

A. V%5Binside%5D = (25-2*0.5)*(16-2*0.5)*(11-2*0.5) = 24*15*10 cubic inches.

Comment from student: thank you ma'am you have helped me a lot.
Excuse me ma'am could you explain why you subtracted two from each number then multiplied by .5?

My response

25-2*0.5, 16-2*0.5 and 11-2*0.5 are the dimensions of the empty interior space inside the box.

Read the condition.
