Question

A semi trailer is being packed with boxes that are 1 1/2 feet on each edge. The cargo space of the trailer is 28 feet long, 8 1/2 feet wide, and 9 1/6 feet high. What is the maximum number of boxes that will fit inside the trailer?

Answers:


2,016


540


2,138


633

Answer 1

It's 646 boxes I think

Answer 2

Trailer V = 28 * 8.5 * 9(1/6)

Trailer V = 2181.67 cubic feet

Box Volume = 1.5^3 = 3.375 cubic feet each

2181.67/3.375 = 646 boxes

I did not do any rounding.
