For this case we have the following data:


  • 50.148 cubic feet, represents the volume of the container
  • 2.786 cubic feet, represents the volume of each of the small boxes

If we divide the volume of the container between the volume of the boxes, we obtain the number of boxes that fit in the container. Therefore:


(50.148)/(2.786)=18

Answer:


the shipping container holds:


Option D
