The maximum number of supply boxes she can pack in the crate is 300, if supply box is 1.5 feet tall, 1 foot wide, and 2 feet deep. The crate is 9 feet high, 10 feet wide, and 10 feet deep.

Explanation:

The given is,

Dimensions of supply box - 1.5 feet tall, 1 foot wide, and 2 feet deep

Dimensions of crate - 9 feet high, 10 feet wide, and 10 feet deep

Step:1

Volume of supply box,


V_(Box) = whl.............................(1)

Where, w - Width of box

h - Height of box

l - Length of box

From the given,

h = 1.5 feet

w = 1 foot

l = 2 feet

Equation (1) becomes,


V_(Box) = (1.5)(1)(2)

= 3 cubic feet


V_(Box) =3 cubic feet

Step:2

Volume of crate,


V_(crate) = whl.............................(1)

Where, w - Width of box

h - Height of box

l - Length of box

From the given,

h = 9 feet

w = 10 foot

l = 10 feet

Equation (1) becomes,


V_(Box) = (9)(10)(10)

= 900 cubic feet


V_(Box) =900 cubic feet

Step:3

No. of boxes can pack in the crate,

=
(Volume of crate)/(Volume supply box)

=
(900)/(3)

= 300 supply boxes

Result:

The maximum number of supply boxes she can pack in the crate is 300, if supply box is 1.5 feet tall, 1 foot wide, and 2 feet deep. The crate is 9 feet high, 10 feet wide, and 10 feet deep.
