Question

Shawna loads truck trailers. One trailer can hold 5,000 cubic feet of cargo. The boxes Shawna needs to load in this truck are 5 feet tall, 5 feet wide, and 5 feet long. How many boxes can she fit in the trailer?

Answer 1

First things first is you need to find the volume of the boxes. The volume of a cube is s^3 or length * width * height. 5^3 or 5*5*5 = 125 feet^3. Now all we have to do is divide the volume of the trailer by the volume of the box. 5000 / 125 is 40. 40 boxes will fit in the trailer. 

Answer 2

40boxes

Explanation:

Total number of volume of cargo that a trailer can load = 5000ft³

Volume of a box to be loaded = 5ft×5ft×5ft = 125ft³

Total number of boxes that can fit into the trailer = Volume of cargo/volume of a box

Total number of boxes that can fit = 5000/125

= 40boxes
