If the length, breadth and height of one packet of one gross match box are 2.8 lcm and 0.9 dcm respectively, then let us calculate the volume of one match box [one gross = 12 dozen]. But if the length and breadth of one match box be 5 cm and 3.5 cm, then let us calculate the height of it.

Answer

Volume of 1 gross (12 × 12) match boxes = (2.8 × 1.5 × 0.9) cu. dcm.

Volume of 1 match box =\frac{2.8 × 1.5 × 0.9}{12 × 12} cu.dcm.

=\frac{3.780}{12 × 12} \text { cu.dcm }= 0.02625 cu.dcm

= 26.25 cu.cm.

Let the height of a match box = h cm.

∴ Volume = 5 × 3.5 × h cu.cm.

∴  17.5 h = 26.25

∴ h =\frac{26.25}{17.5}=1.5 cm .

∴ Height of each match box = 1.5 cm.
