Well the dimensions of the pan are already given: " 8" x 8" x 3". "
So Volume of 1 pan = 8" x 8" x 3". 
But you want to find the total volume of 3 pans 
so Volume of 3 pans = 3 x (8" x 8" x 3")

butterflydreamer · Answer

yepp.  Volume of 3 pans just equals to the volume of 1 pan TIMES 3.
So since volume of 1 pan = Well the dimensions of the pan are already given: " 8" x 8" x 3". "
So Volume of 1 pan = 8" x 8" x 3". 
If we multiply it by 3, we get the Volume of 3 pans = 3 x (8 x 8 x 3)

thats not one of my answer choices

butterflydreamer · Answer

yes it is :)
Note:  Volume of 3 pans = 3 x (8 x 8 x 3)
8 x 8 = 8^2 
So Volume of 3 pans = 3 x (8^2 x 3)
