Answer:

648cubes

Explanations

The formula for calculating the volume of a box is expressed as


V=lwh

where;

l is the length

w is the width

h is the height

Find the volume of the shipping box


\begin{gathered} V=12in*18in*24in \\ V=5184in^3 \end{gathered}

Determine the dimension of the cubic package


\begin{gathered} V_c=2in*2in*2in \\ V_c=8in^3 \end{gathered}

Determine the number of cubes that can fit in the shipping box.


\begin{gathered} number\text{ of cubes}=(5184in^3)/(8in^3) \\ number\text{ of cubes}=648cubes \end{gathered}

Therefore the maximum number of cubes that can fit into the box is 648cubes
