Question

A box measuring $51cm\times 36cm\times 18cm$. In this box, how many compass-boxes measuring 17 cm in length, 9 cm in width and 2 cm in height can be arranged ?

Answer 1

Volume of bigger box $=51\times 36\times 18c{m}^3$

volume of compass-box $=17\times 9\times 2c{m}^3$

Number of compass-box can be arranged in bigger box $\begin{array}{c}=\frac{51\times 36\times 18}{17\times 9\times 2}\\ =3\times 36\\ =108\end{array}$
