A moving company is trying to store boxes in a storage room with a length of 5 m, width of 3 m and 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?



Answer :

Volume of room = 500 * 300 * 200 cm

= 30000000 cm³

Volume of 1 box = 10 * 6 * 4

= 240 cm³

Thus, number of boxes in the room

= 30000000/ 240
= 125000 boxes ;

Thus, 125000 boxes can be stored in the room.

The number of the boxes can fit in this space if each is 10 cm long, 6 cm wide and 4 cm high will be 125,000.

What is the volume of the rectangular prism?

Let the prism with a length of L, a width of W, and a height of H.

Then the volume of the prism is given as

V = L x W x H

A moving company is trying to store boxes in a storage room with a length of 5 m, width of 3 m and height of 2 m.

Then the volume of the room (in cm) will be

V₁ = 500 x 300 x 200

V₁ = 30,000,000 cubic cm

Then the number of the boxes can fit in this space if each is 10 cm long, 6 cm wide and 4 cm high will be

The volume of each box will be

V₂ = 10 x 6 x 4

V₂ = 240 cubic cm

The number of the boxes can fit in this space if each is 10 cm long, 6 cm wide and 4 cm high will be

V₁ / V₂ = 30,000,000 / 240

V₁ / V₂ = 125,000
