Answer 1

Answer:

No

The box can fit a 24 inch long bat.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the box being sold by the packing service measures 24 in. By 20 in. By 12 in.

The longest dimension of the box is 24 inch and the bat is 34 inch which is greater.

The box therefore will not be big enough for the softball bat that Mike wants to mail to his Sister in College.

The box can fit a bat 24 inch long at most.
