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.
