Step-by-step explanation:
Here is the complete question
A toy company is packaging its toys to be shipped. Each small toy is placed inside a cube-shaped box with side lengths of 1/2 in. These smaller boxes are then placed into a larger box with dimensions of 12 in. × 4 1/2 in. × 3 1/2 in.
a. What is the greatest number of small toy boxes that can be packed into the larger box for shipping?
b. Use the number of small toy boxes that can be shipped in the larger box to help determine the volume of the shipping box
A. greatest number of small toy boxes that can be packed into the larger box for shipping = volume of larger box / volume of smaller box
volume of larger box = length x width x height = 12 in. × 4 1/2 in. × 3 1/2 in = 189 in³
volume of smaller box = volume of a cube = side length³ = ³ = 1/8 in³
189 ÷ = 189 x = 1512
b. 1/8 x 1512 = 189 in^3
