Answer:

10 ring boxes

Explanation:

First, we need to calculate the total surface area of each cube ring boxes

The surface area of each square boxes = 6L²

Given that L =1.5inches

Total surface area = 6(1.5)²

Total surface area = 6(2.25)

Total surface area = 13.5in²

Since the question is incomplete. Let us assume the total surface area of the shipping box is 135in²

Number of ring boxes he can ship = 135/13.5

Number of ring boxes he can ship = 10

Hence the number of ring boxes he can ship is 10 ring boxes

NB: The total surface area of the shipping box was assumed
