Answer 1

Answer: $28\ cubes$

Step-by-step explanation:

The volume of a cube can be found with this formula:

$V_{(c)}=s^3$

Where "s" is the lenght of any edge of the cube.

The formula for calculate the volume of a rectangular prism is:

$V_{rp}=lwh$

Where "l" is the lenght, "w" is the width and "h" is the height.

We need to find the volume of a cube box:

$V_1=s^3=(\frac{1}{6}ft)^3=\frac{1}{216}ft^3$

To find the volume of the shipping box, first we must convert the mixed number to  an improper fraction:

$1\frac{1}{6}=\frac{(6*1)+1}{6}=\frac{7}{6}$

Then the volume of the shipping box is:

$V_2=lwh\\\\V_2=(\frac{7}{6}ft)(\frac{1}{3}ft)(\frac{1}{3}ft)=\frac{7}{54}ft^3$

Now, in order to find the  number of cube boxes can Haley fits into a shipping box, you must divide the the volume of the shipping box by the volume of one cube. This is:

$\frac{\frac{7}{54}ft^3}{\frac{1}{216}ft^3}=28$
