Answer:

The answer to your question is: 30 boxes

Explanation:

Data:

A packing crate measures 0.40 m 0.40 m 0.25 m.

boxes of cookies measure 22.0 cm 12.0 cm 5.0 cm

Formula

Volume of a rectangular prism: l x w x h

Volume of the bigger prism = 40 cm x 40 x 25 cm = 40 000 cm3

Volume of the smaller prism = 22 x 12 x 5 = 1320 cm3

Then we divide the volumes = 40000 / 1320 = 30.3 boxes
