Answer 1

Approximately how many boxes that are 2 ft. by 2 ft. by 3.5 ft. fit inside of the back of a tractor trailer box truck whose dimensions are 28 ft. by 8 ft. by 9 ft.?

Solution:

Volume of trailer box= Number of boxes * Volume of Box

Volume of Trailer Box=Length*Width*Height

Dimensions of Trailer Box are 28 ft. by 8 ft. by 9 ft.

Volume of Trailer Box=28*8*9ft³=2016ft³

Dimensions of box are 2 ft. by 2 ft. by 3.5 ft.

Volume of Box=2*2*3.5ft³=14ft³

Volume of Trailer Box=Number of Boxes *Volume of Box

2016=Number of Boxes*14

To get, Number of Boxes, Let us divide by 14

2016/14=Number of Boxes=144

Number of Boxes=144
