    63 cubic inches

    Step-by-step explanation:

    You have to first find the volume of each mold:

    6 * 4 * 2 = 48 cubic inches

    3 * 5 * 1 = 15 cubic inches

    Add these two volumes together to find the overall volume of the whole sand castle.

    48+15 = 63 cubic inches

    The whole castle can hold 63 in² of sand.

    Step-by-step explanation:

    First, find the volume of the first mold.

    V = whl Substitute

    V = (6) (2) (4) Multiply

    V = 48 in²

    Now, find the volume of the second mold.

    V = whl Substitute

    V = (5) (1) (3) Multiply

    V = 15 in²

    Add together both volumes to find the volume of the whole castle.

    48 + 15 = 63 in²
