Question

1) You have some books. You need to ship the books to your friend. The books are 8 inches height, 5 inches

width, and 2 inches depth. How many of these books could you pack into your closet which is 20 inches long, 25
inches wide and 30 inches high?

Answer 1

187 Books

Explanation:

First you need to figure out the area of the closet. To do this you need to do 20 x 25 x 30 which equals 15,000. Then you should figure out the area of the books. To do this you would do 8 x 5 x 2 which equals 80. Then do 15,000 divided by 80 and you get 187.5 but you cant fit half a book in so then you round down and you get 187.
