Answer: Large box 1 can hold 64.67 inches; Large box 2 can hold 56.19 inches.
Step-by-step explanation:
Small box: 162 inches.
Large box 1: 10476 inches.
Large box 2: 9102 inches
Number of small box that can be contained in large box 1= 10476/162 = 64.67
Number of small box that can be contained in large box 2 = 9102/162 = 56.19
If my friend uses division to determine and said Large Box 1 can hold 64 small boxes and Large box 2 can hold 56 small boxes. The error in his reasoning was that he didn't approximated to whole number. He should have written the figure completely or to 2 or 3 decimal places.
