a moving company is trying to store boxes in a storage room with a length of 5 m, width of 3 m and a height of 2 m.How many boxes can fit in this space if each is 10 cm long,6 cm wide and 4 cm high
Convert meters to cm
5m = 500cm
3m = 300cm
2m = 200cm
The volume of the storage room is
(500 * 300 * 200) = 30,000,000 cm^3
And the volume of each box = (10 * 6 * 4) = 240 cm^3
So.....the number of boxes that will fit =
30,000,000 / 240 = 125,000
Behind each other: 500cm :10cm = 50
Next to each other: 300cm : 6cm = 50
Above each other : 200cm : 4cm = 50
50*50*50 =125000
