The back of Nico's truck is 7. 5 feet long, 4 feet wide, and 8 feet tall. He has several boxes of important papers that he needs to move. Each box of papers is shaped like a cube, measuring 2. 5 feet on each side.

Answer:

15

Explanation:

The volume of the back of his truck is equal to 7.5 X 4 X 8, this equals 240, the volume of each box is 2.5 X 2.5 X 2.5, this equals 15.625, that means that 15.36 boxes fit, but because you can't break a box into .36 pieces, only 15 will fit.
