Question

Jayden needs to store boxes that are 4 feet long, 3 feet wide, and 2 feet high. The boxes must remain upright with one of the 4-foot by 3-foot sides on top. Jayden's storage locker is 12 feet long, 6 feet wide, and 9 feet high. What is the greatest number of boxes that he can store in the locker?

Answer 1

The dimensions of the box are = 4 feet (length); 3 feet(width); 2 feet(height)

So, volume of the box is =
`4*3*2=24` cubic feet

The dimensions of the storage locker are = 12 feet(length); 6 feet(width) ; 9 feet(height)

So, volume of the storage locker is =
`12*6*9=648`

So, the greatest number of boxes that can be stored are =

`(648)/(24)= 27` boxes

Hence, a maximum of 27 boxes are stored.
