Open in App
Solution

It is given that
Length of the godown =40m
Breadth of the godown =25m
Height of the godown =15m

We know that

Volume of the godown =1×b×h

By substituting the values

Volume of godown =40××25×15

On further calculation

Volume of godown =15000 m3

It is given that

Length of wooden crate =1.5m
Breadth of wooden crate =1.25m
Height wooden crate =0.5m

We know that

Volume of each wooden crate =1×b×h

By substituting the values

Volume of each wooden crate =1.5×1.25×0.5

On further calculation

Volume of each wooden crate =0.9375 m3

So we get

Number of wooden crates that can be stored in godown =Volume of godownVolume of each wooden crate

By substituting the values

Number of wooden crates that can be stored in godown =150000.9375

So we get

Number of wooden crates that can be stored in godown =16000

Therefore, the number of wooden crates that can be stored in the godown are 16000.
