Question

A moving company is trying to store boxes in a storage room with a length of 5m, width of 3m and height of 2m. How many boxes can fit in this space if each is 10cm long, 6cm wide and 4cm high?

Answer 1

For room,
L=5m
B=3m
H=2m
vol.of room=L×B×H
=5×3×2
=30m^3
For each box
l=10cm=0.1m
b=6cm=0.06m
h=4cm=0.04m
vol.of each box=l×b×h
=0.1×0.06×0.04
=0.00024m^3
So no.of boxes that can be fit in room=vol.of room/vol.of each box
=30/0.00024
=3000000/24
=125000boxes

Answer 2

12 boxes can fit in the truck
