Cake Volume and Party Planning

JT initially made a cake for 10 people but realized he needed to serve 20. He made a second cake and calculated the volumes of both cakes to ensure there was enough for everyone. The first cake measured 12x8x2 inches, and the second 8x8x2 inches. JT calculated the volumes as 192 and 128 cubic inches, respectively, and combined them for a total of 320 cubic inches, hoping it would suffice for the party.
