Question

A godown measures $40m\times 25m\times 10m.$Find the maximum number of wooden crates each measuring $1.5m\times 1.25m\times 0.5m$ that can be stored in the godown.

Answer 1

$\text{Length of godown(L)}=40m$

$\text{Breadth (B)}=25m$

$\text{and height (H)}=10m$

$\therefore \text{Volume of godown}=LBH$$=40\times 25\times 10=10000m^3$

$\text{Volume of one crate}=1.5\times 1.25\times 0.5m^3$$=0.9375m^3$

$\therefore \text{Number of crates to be stored in the godown}$$=\frac{\text{Volume of godown}}{\text{Volume of one crate}}$

$=\frac{10000}{0.9375}=10666crates$ (approx)
