Description
A moving company is trying to store boxes in a storage room with a length of 5m, width of 3m, and a height of 2m. How many boxes can fit in this space is each is 10cm long, 6cm wide, and 4cm high?
Explanation & Answer
Thank you for the opportunity to help you with your question!
First let's convert everything to the same units, cm. So then the dimensions of the storage room are 500 cm long, 300 cm wide, and 200 cm high.
That means we can fit 500/10 = 50 boxes across the length
300/6 = 50 boxes across the width
200/4 = 50 boxes stacked high
Therefore, 50x50x50 = 125,000 boxes
