Mr. White is trying to store boxes in a storage room with length of 8ft width of 5ft and height of 2ft. How many boxes can fit in this space if each box is 2 1/4 feet long 1 1/2 feet wide and 1 feet deep
Volume of the storage room = 8 x 5 x 2 = 80 cu ft
Volume of each box = 2.25 x 1.5 x 1 = 3.375 cu ft
So
80 / 3.375 = about 23 whole boxes
8*5*2=80
2.25*1.5*1=3.375
80/3.375=23.7 boxs=ans
