Question

A moving company is trying to store boxes in a storage room with a length of 5 m, width of 3 m and height of 2 m. How many boxes can fit in this space if each is 10 cm long, 6 cm wide and 4 cm high?

Answer 1

Volume of room = 500 * 300 * 200 cm

= 30000000 cm³

Volume of 1 box = 10 * 6 * 4

= 240 cm³

Thus, number of boxes in the room

= 30000000/ 240
= 125000 boxes ;

Thus, 125000 boxes can be stored in the room.
