Answer:

72

Explanation:

First, you need to calculate the volume of the box:

2 1/4 × 2 × 2 = 9 (ft³)

Second, calculate the volume of the foam block:

1/2 × 1/2 × 1/2 = 1/8 (ft³)

In the end, get the volume of the box divided to the volume of the foam block:

9 ÷ (1/8) = 72 ( foam blocks)

Conclusion, the answer is 72 foam blocks
