To determine whose box holds more popcorn between Amanda and Mary, and how much more popcorn the bigger box holds, consider the following solution:
Given that we need to determine whose box has more popcorn and by how much more, we conclude the following:
1. Identify whose box is bigger:
- After analysis, we find that Mary’s box holds more popcorn.
2. Difference in volume between the two boxes:
- The difference in their volumes is given as 3 cm³.
The resolution of the problem shows that Mary’s box holds more popcorn than Amanda’s and that the difference in volume between the two boxes is exactly 3 cm³.
Therefore:
- The box that holds more popcorn is Mary’s (option B).
- The bigger box holds 3 cm³ more popcorn than the smaller one.
