Final answer:
To determine how many small boxes of fish food can fit into a larger shipping box, the dimensions or volume of both the small and large boxes are needed. Without specific measurements, it is not possible to calculate the exact number. The student must provide these measurements to proceed with the calculation or arrangement process.
Step-by-step explanation:
The question pertains to determining how many smaller boxes of fish food can be packed into a larger shipping box. To answer this, we would need the dimensions or the volume capacity of the large shipping box, as well as the dimensions or volume of the small boxes of fish food. Once we have these measurements, we can calculate how many small boxes fit into the large box either by calculating volumes or by arranging the dimensions to maximize the number of small boxes within the larger one.
However, since the question does not provide specific measurements for the sizes of the boxes, we cannot calculate an exact answer. The student will need to measure the large shipping boxes and the smaller fish food boxes to determine how many of the latter can be placed inside the former.
If the student provides these measurements, you can guide them through the process by explaining how to calculate volume (length × width × height) for each box and then dividing the volume of the large box by the volume of a small box to find the number that can fit. Alternatively, if the boxes have simple integer dimensions, they may arrange them visually or using a grid to find the optimal packing solution.
