Answer:

2340 small boxes

Explanation:

Each unit of measure used for the large box will contain 4 of the smaller boxes. So, in terms of small boxes, the dimensions of the larger box are ...

(3 1/4)/(1/4) = (13/4)/(1/4) = 13 . . . length

3/(1/4) = (12/4)/(1/4) = 12 . . . . . . . width

(3 3/4)/(1/4) = (15/4)/(1/4) = 15 . . . height

Then the number of small boxes that would fit is ...

length × width × height = 13×12×15 = 2340

2340 cubes of size 1/4 will fit into the larger box.
