I am HORRIBLE at figuring out word problems and now there are conversions to deal with, can someone please help me with this problem and also EXPLAIN how to do it?

Thanks in advance..

Trader Joe's Sells Soy Milk in box-type containers (rectangular
prisms to math folks). The containers are 55mm wide, 94mm long and 184mm
tall. The volume written on the package is given as a nice whole number of
ounces. What volume measurement do you think is written on the package?

Explain.

I'll do a similar but different problem foryou:

Trader Joe's Sells Soy Milk in box-type containers (rectangular prisms to math folks). The containers are 110 mm wide, 188 mm long and 368 mm tall. The volume written on the package is given as a nice whole number of ounces. What volume measurement do you think is written on the package?
Explain.

The volume of the package = 11 * 18.8 * 36.8 cc = 7610.24 cc

1 cc = 0.033814023 fl. oz

7610.24 cc = 7610.24 * 0.033814023 fl. oz = 257.33 oz = 257 oz

Follow the exact same steps....
