Problema Solution
apples are packed inside a cube shaped box with the side lengths of 4.5 in. these boxes are then packed into a shipping box with the dimensions of 18 in x 9 in x 4.5 in. how many boxes of apples can be packed into the larger box for shipping?
Answer provided by our tutors
the volume of one cube is: V1 = 4.5^3
the volume of the larger shipping box is: V = 18*9*4.5
let 'n' represent the number of boxes of apples that can be packed in the larger box
V1*n = V
4.5^3 * n = 18*9*4.5
by solving we find:
x = 8 boxes
