Question

The Joneses are moving from San Francisco to South Africa. They pack their belongings in rectangular crates and hire a boxcar to ship the crates across land and sea. The crates are made specifically to fit inside the boxcar with their bases facing down. Each crate has a base  15 ft

 long by  5 ft  wide and height  6.5 ft . The boxcar is  60 ft  long,  10 ft  wide and  13 ft  high.  How many crates can The Joneses fit into one boxcar?

16 crates if i am right

Answer 2

La sup della base del box e' :
S box=60 x10=600
S crate =15 x5=75
Sulla base del box si possono mettere 600/75=8 crate
Sull' altezza (high) si possono mettere 13/6,5=2 strati
8( crate/ strato) x 2 (strati)=16 crates
