Answer:

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(3)/(4) =(15)/(4) ft.

Width = 3 ft.

Height =
3(1)/(4) =(13)/(4) ft.

Volume of shipping box =
(15)/(4) .3 .(13)/(4) =(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 =
(15)/(4) .3=(45)/(4) square ft.

Volume of box = base area x height =
(45)/(4) .(13)/(4) = 36.6 cubic ft.

Volume of packing cubes =
(1)/(4) .(1)/(4) .(1)/(4) =(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 ÷
(1)/(64) =2340 .
