Answer 1

We are given volume of a shipping container = 448.656 cubic inches.

And this shipping container can hold =  24 smaller boxes.

Volume of each small box = $\frac{The\ volume\ of\ the \ shipping\ container}{Volume \ of \ each \ small \ box}$.

= $\frac{448.656}{24}$

On dividing 448.656 by 24 we get

= 18.694.

Therefore, the volume of each of the smaller boxes is C. 18.694 cubic inches .
