Explanation:

Number of boxes that will fit =2340

Explanation:

The shipping box volume can be calculated by the formula V = Lxwxh ,where L ,w ,h are length ,width and height of the box.

The length of the shipping box =3\frac{3}{4} =\frac{15}{4} ft.

Width = 3 ft.

Height =3\frac{1}{4} =\frac{13}{4} ft.

Volume of shipping box =\frac{15}{4} .3 .\frac{13}{4} =\frac{585}{16} = 36.6 ft.cubic ft.

Volume of shipping box can also be calculated by multiplying base area with the height of box.

Base area of box = \frac{15}{4} .3=\frac{45}{4} square ft.

Volume of box = base area x height =\frac{45}{4} .\frac{13}{4} = 36.6 cubic ft.

Volume of packing cubes =\frac{1}{4} .\frac{1}{4} .\frac{1}{4} =\frac{1}{64} cubic ft.

Number of fish boxes that will fit in the shipping box = volume of shipping box ÷ volume of fish food box = 36.6 ÷ \frac{1}{64} =2340 .
