c) 20 boxes

d) 24 boxes​

Answer 1

To know the number of boxes that can fit divide the volume of the shipping container by the volume of one cereal box.

How to calculate the number of boxes that can fit in the shipping container?

To do this use the formula;

• volume of the shipping container/ volume of a box of cereal = number of cereal boxes that can fit.

How to calculate the volume of the container and the volume of the cereal boxes?

Since both the container and the boxes likely have a defined rectangular shape you can use this formula:

• length x width x height

For example:

Dimensions of the container:

120 cm x 100 cm x 100 cm = 1200000 cubic centimeters

Dimensions of the boxes:

30 cm x 30 cm x 10 cm = 9000 cubic centimeters.

1200000 cc / 9000 cc = 133 boxes.

Note: This question is incomplete because the diagram is not provided; due to this, I answered it based on general knowledge.
