Question

Boxes? I know LxW and stuff, I just don’t know how to solve this

Answer 1

Yes

Explanation:

To answer if the crate can hold the contents of 2 boxes or not, we need to determine if the volume of the crate
`\geq` 2 x volume of a box or not.

Both crate and box have the same formula to calculate the volume:

- Volume = Height x Width x Length

First, we have to calculate the volume of the crate:

- The volume of a crate is: 4 x 4 x 4
`(1)/(2\\)` = 72 feet square

Then, we have to calculate the volume

- The volume of a box is: 3 x 3 x 3
`(1)/(2\\)` = 31.5 feet square

=> Two boxes' volume is: 2 x 31.5 = 63 feet square < 72 feet square

As the volume of two boxes is smaller than the volume of one crate, so that one crate can hold the contents of 2 boxes.
