A moving company is trying to store boxes in a storage room with a length of 5m, width of 3m and height of 2m. How many boxes can fit in this space if each is 10cm long, 6cm wide and 4cm high?
For room, L=5m B=3m H=2m vol.of room=L×B×H =5×3×2 =30m^3 For each box l=10cm=0.1m b=6cm=0.06m h=4cm=0.04m vol.of each box=l×b×h =0.1×0.06×0.04 =0.00024m^3 So no.of boxes that can be fit in room=vol.of room/vol.of each box =30/0.00024 =3000000/24 =125000boxes
