Please round any decimal answers to the nearest tenth. A shop sells 2 brands of sunflower seeds. Brand A's package is in the shape of a cone with radius 2.5 centimeters and height 10 centimeters. Brand B's package is in the shape of a square prism. The prism's height is 2.5 centimeters, and each side of the base measures 5 centimeters. Which package contains more seeds? Explain or show your reasoning. Brand contains more seeds because the volume of Brand A is cubic cm and the volume of Brand B is cubic cm. Since Brand has a larger volume, it can hold more seeds.
