Question

The movie theater received a shipment of candy boxes in a carton that has a volume of about 64,000 cubic inches. Each candy box is 6 inches by 5 inches by 1/2 inch. The carton is completely full. About how many candy boxes are in the carton? About 10,000 About 4,000 About 1,000 About 2,000

Answer 1

To find this answer or you would divide the total volume by the volume of each box of candy. To find the volume of each box of candy you would multiply the length by the width by the height. 6 x 5 by 1/2 equals 15 in.³ per box. 64,000 is approximately 60,000, so 60,000÷15 = 4000 boxes approximately.
