Answer:

15 boxes of paper

Explanation:

  • The total area of the back of Nico's truck is 240ft³ (7.5 x 4 x 8)
  • A box is a 3-dimensional shape. With each side (length, width, and height) being 2.5ft, one box will take up approximately 15.625ft³. (2.5 x 2.5 x 2.5)
  • By taking the total area of Nico's truck (240ft³) and dividing it by the approximate size of each box (15.625ft³), 15.36, or 15 boxes will be able to fit.

Hope this helps!
