Answer:
Assuming the height of the boxes is also 15 cm, the volume of one box would be:
V = l x w x h
V = 15 cm x 15 cm x 15 cm
V = 3,375 cm³
Since there are five boxes, the total volume would be:
Total V = 5 x 3,375 cm³
Total V = 16,875 cm³
Therefore, 16,875 cm³ of colored sand will be used to fill all the boxes.
