Question

A godown measures $40m$ $\times 25m$ $\times 15m$. Find the maximum of wooden crates each measuring $1.5m$ $\times 1.25m$ $\times 0.5m$ that can be stored in the godown.

Answer 1

$\Rightarrow$Volume of godown

$=l\times b\times h=40\times 25\times 15$m${}^3$

$=15000$m${}^3$

$\Rightarrow$Volume of $1$ wooden crate

$=1.5\times 1.25\times 0.5$

$=0.9375$m${}^3$

$\Rightarrow$No. of wooden crate stored in godown

$=\frac{15000}{0.93750}$

$=16000$

$\therefore$ $16000$ crates can be proved
