Answer 1

24 inches

Explanation:

The dimensions of the box are 12 in, 16 in, 24 in

This means that the longest side of the box is 24 inches

It does not matter which side the box is long on

The longest item that you could fit in the box is 24 inches because you could turn the item vertical or horizontal to fit
