Question

At a factory, light bulbs are packed in boxes that are then placed in a shipping container.

• Each box is in the shape of a cube.
• Each box has an edge length of foot.
• A shipping container has dimensions of feet by 1 foot by 2 feet.
What is the total number of boxes of light bulbs that the shipping container can hold when completely full?

Answer 1

Answer: 144

Step-by-step explanation: You need to find the volume of the shipping container and divide it by the volume of a box.

2 2/3 x 1 x 2 = 16/3

1/3 x 1/3 x 1/3 = 1/27

16/3 divided by 1/27 is 144.
