Answer:
The box is 8 inches wide.
Step-by-step explanation:
The formula for the volume of a rectangular prism (box) is:
V = (length) (width) (height)
V = (11 inches) (width) (5 inches) = 440 inches^3
Solve for the width by dividing both sides of this equation by (11 inches) (5 inches) :
440 inches^3
(width) = ---------------------------------- = 8 inches
(11 inches) (5 inches)
The box is 8 inches wide.
