Upper Elementary:
Question: A fruit punch powered robot has a box-shaped punch tank that is 10 cm (centimeters) wide, 20 cm long, and 30 cm high. If the tank already has 600 cubic centimeters of punch in it, how much more punch can the robot hold?
Answer: 5,400 cubic centimeters.
Solution: The volume of a box is its length multiplied by its width multiplied by its height. So, the volume of the tank is 10 × 20 × 30 = 6,000 cubic centimeters. Since the tank already has 600 cubic centimeters of punch in it, it can hold 6,000 – 600 = 5,400 cubic centimeters more.
