Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The formula for finding the volume of a box is length x width x height. 
Substituting the given values, we get:
Volume = 6,000 x 8,600 x 4,800 = 248,640,000,000
Converting millimeters cubed to scientific notation, we get:
Volume = 2.4864 x 10^11 mm^3
Therefore, the correct answer is option B, 2.4768 x 10^11 mm^3.
