Answer 1

Answer:

the number of boxes that would take fill

the storage completely is 60 boxes.

Step-by-step explanation:

given:

A storage unit has the dimensions 6 ft. x 7 1/2 ft. x 4 1/2 ft.

find:

What number of

1 1/2 ft. x 1 1/2 ft. x 1 1/2 ft. cardboard boxes would it take to completely

fill this storage unit?

Volume of a storage unit = 6 x 7.5 x 4.5

Volume of a storage unit = 202.5  ft³

Volume of a cardboard box = 1.5 x 1.5 x 1.5

Volume of a cardboard box = 3.38 ft³

to get the number of cardboard boxes to fill in the storage unit,

Number of boxes =     202.5 ft³    

                                     3.38 ft³

Number of boxes = 60

therefore,

the number of boxes that would take fill the storage completely is 60 boxes.
