Question

What is the greatest number of soda cans that can fit inside of a box 15 in. high, 8 in. wide and 23 in. long?

Answer 1

The answer is 117 soda cans.

Answer 2

117 soda cans

Explanation:

First find the volume of the soda can and box.

box V= l * w * h

box V= 15* 8 * 23

box V= 2,760 in²

can V= πr²h

can V= π(2.5/2)²*4.8

can V= 23.56

box V/ can V

2,760/23.56 = 117.15

you can only round down so 117 cans
