Question

A box is in the shape of a rectangular prism. Andrea is trying to ship boxes of her homemade chocolate chip cookies. The box she is using to ship has the dimensions of 12in by 10in by 12in. Each cookie box has dimensions of 4in by 5in by 3in. How many cookie boxes will fit into the box to be shipped? Explain how you got your answer.

Answer 1

The 24 boxes which will fit into the large box if the box is in the shape of a rectangular prism.

What is a cuboid?

It is defined as the six-faced shape, a type of hexahedron in geometry.

It is a three-dimensional shape.

We can find the volume of the box = length×width×height

Volume for the large box = 12×10×12 = 1440 cubic in

Volume for the small box = 4×5×3  = 60 cubic in

Number of cookie boxes will fit into the large box  = 1440/60 = 24

Thus, the 24 boxes which will fit into the large box if the box is in the shape of a rectangular prism.
