Question

A baker is packaging her cupcakes into single serve boxes for a special event. Each

cube-shaped box has side lengths 3.5 inches (in.). The smaller boxes are then packed into a
larger box with dimensions of 10.5 in. x 7 in. x 7 in.
Please help me I have my math class tomorrow and tomorrow is also when it is due!!!

Answer 1

Answer: Sure! I'd be happy to help you with this.

To find the number of cupcake boxes that fit in the larger box, we need to find the volume of the larger box and divide it by the volume of one cupcake box.

The volume of the larger box is 10.5 x 7 x 7 = 572.5 cubic inches.

The volume of one cupcake box is 3.5 x 3.5 x 3.5 = 42.375 cubic inches.

Dividing the volume of the larger box by the volume of one cupcake box, we get 572.5 / 42.375 = 13.5.

So, 13.5 cupcake boxes will fit in the larger box.
