Question

Jackie is buying crackers and wants to know how many crackers are in the box. The box is 8 cm long, 2.4 cm wide, and 60 cm high. The dimensions of the crackers are 3cm long, 4 cm wide, and 5 cm high. How many crackers are in the box? Round to the nearest whole number. Geometry

Answer 1

Answer:

19

Step-by-step explanation:

Number of crackers that can be fit into the box = volume of the box / volume of crackers

Volume = length x width x height

volume of the box = 8 cm x 2.4 cm x 60 cm = 1152 cm^3

Volume of the crackers = 3cm x 4 cm x 5cm = 60cm^3

1152/60 = 19.2

Rounding 19.2 to the nearest whole number gives 19
