Question

1. You need to move your boxes from your current location to your new place. You rented a

UHaul truck where the height is 8 feet, the length is 10 feet, and the width is 6 feet. The
length of each box is 2 feet, the width is 2 feet, and the height is 2 feet as well.
a. How many boxes can you fit inside the UHaul truck? Show your work below.
(hint: find the volume)

Answer 1

The volume of the UHaul truck can be calculated by multiplying its length, width, and height:

Volume of UHaul truck = length x width x height
= 10 ft x 6 ft x 8 ft
= 480 cubic feet

The volume of each box can be calculated by multiplying its length, width, and height:

Volume of each box = length x width x height
= 2 ft x 2 ft x 2 ft
= 8 cubic feet

To find the number of boxes that can fit inside the UHaul truck, we need to divide the volume of the UHaul truck by the volume of each box:

Number of boxes = Volume of UHaul truck / Volume of each box
= 480 cubic feet / 8 cubic feet
= 60 boxes

Therefore, you can fit 60 boxes inside the UHaul truck.
