    Volume

    This is a unit of three-dimensional measure of space that comprises a length, a width and a height.
    It is measured in units of cubic centimeters in metric, cubic inches or cubic feet.
    Each gift box = 1/3 cubic feet of hard candies.
    Large container:
    • base = 2 feet
    • Height = 1 1/2 feet
    • Width = 1 feet
    Volume of the large container = base × height × width
    = 2 × 1 1/2 × 1
    = 2 × 3/2 × 1
    = 6/2
    = 3 cubic feet
    Number of hard candies in the large container =Volume of the large container / Each gift box
    = 3 ÷ 1/3
    = 3 × 3/1
    = 9 hard candies
    Therefore, there are 9 hard candies in the large container.
