A storage container at the arena is 3 metres wide, 6 metres long and 4 metres high. How many 50 cm by 50 cm by 50 cm boxes could you fit into the storage container?

Respuesta :

576 boxes can fit into a storage container
Volume of the storage container = 3 x 6 x 4 = 72 m^3
Volume of each box (in metres) = 0.5 x 0.5 x 0.5 = 0.125 m^3
So how many 0.125 m^3s will fit into 72 m^3?
A simple division will solve this = 72/0.125 = 576 boxes
