Final answer:

Susie can fit 6 of the 2 feet by 2 feet by 3 feet boxes in the 6 feet by 12 feet rectangle. She can arrange them in 3 rows with 2 boxes in each row.

Step-by-step explanation:

To find out how many of the 2 feet by 2 feet by 3 feet boxes Susie can fit in a rectangle that is 6 feet by 12 feet, we need to calculate the area of the rectangle and the volume of the box:

The area of the rectangle is 6 feet * 12 feet = 72 square feet.

The volume of the box is 2 feet * 2 feet * 3 feet = 12 cubic feet.

To determine how many boxes can fit in the rectangle, we need to divide the area of the rectangle by the volume of the box:

72 square feet / 12 cubic feet = 6 boxes.

Therefore, Susie can fit 6 of the boxes in the rectangle. To fit them, she can arrange the boxes in rows, with each row consisting of 2 boxes placed side by side. There will be a total of 3 rows of boxes in the rectangle.
