The supplies are packed inside a cube – shaped box with side lengths 4 ½ in. These boxes are then packed into a shipping box with dimensions of 18 in x 9 in x 4 ½ in.

Answer:

eight cubes can be shipped.

Explanation:

The height of the shipping box is the same as the height of the boxes that are about to be shipped. (4 1/2 inches). So you can get 1 layer of the boxes to be shipped.

The length of the shipping box is 18 inches. You will be able to get 18/4.5 = 4 boxes along the 18 inch side.

The 9 inch side will allow 2 boxes.

In all you can ship 2 * 4 boxes in the shipping box which is eight 4 1/2 inch cubes in all.
