Question

A truck that is 10 ft. by 10 ft. by 14 ft. carries boxes that are 2 ft. by 2 ft. by

Answer 1

The number of boxes that the truck can hold if it is already 65% full is; 49 boxes

Volume of a truck

We are given the truck dimensions as;

• Length; L = 10 ft
• Width; w = 10 ft
• Height; h = 14 ft

Formula for volume of truck is;

V = L × w × h

Thus;

V_truck = 10 × 10 × 14

V_truck = 1400 ft³

Volume of boxes is;

V_box = 2 × 2 × 2.5

V_box = 10 ft³

We are told that truck is 65% full.

Thus;

Volume left in truck = 35% × 1400

Volume left in truck = 490 ft³

Thus;

Number of boxes the truck can hold at the 65% capacity = 490/10 = 49 boxes
