Volume of large box = 5832 in^3
Volume of shoe box = 12*6*5=360 in^3

Maximum number of shoe boxes that might fit in the large box 
= 5832/360 = 16.2, or 16.

However, we have to verify the dimensions to make sure each side fits.
For example, if the large box is 18x18x18=5832 in^3,
then we can only fit, along each dimension:
18/12=1.5 => 1 (6 inches remaining)
18/6=3     => 3 (0 inches remaining)
18/5=3.6  => 3 (3 inches remaining)
That make 9 boxes.
However, we still have a gap of 6 inches that we can fit shoe boxes vertically, i.e.
6/6=1 row
18/12=1 row
18/5 = 3 rows
That will fit 3 more boxes for a total of 9+3=12 boxes (instead of 16 boxes).

So 16 is the MAXIMUM number of boxes (according to volume).
The actual number of boxes will depend on the dimensions of the large box.  18x18x18 was given just as an example.

If further explanations are needed, please post in comments.

Find the difference and express the answer in Scientific Notation
fenix001 [56]
The correct answer is C. 
this is because 452.7*10^3=452700
and 2.7*10^5=270000
452700-270000=182700
which when expressed in scientific notation is 1.827*105

Mr. Collins made 20 bird houses to sell at a carnival. He earns $15 for each bird house he sells. How much will Mr. Collins earn
navik [9.2K]

Answer:

C. $300

Step-by-step explanation:

We have been given that Mr. Collins made 20 bird houses to sell at a carnival. He earns $15 for each bird house he sells.

To find the amount earned by Mr. Collin after selling all 20 bird houses, we need to multiply 20 by amount earned by selling each bird house.

\text{Amount earned by Mr. Collin after selling all 20 bird houses}=\$15\times 20

\text{Amount earned by Mr. Collin after selling all 20 bird houses}=\$300

Therefore, Mr. Collin will earn $300, if he sells all 20 bird houses.
