Question

A lorry carrier measures $10\text{m}\times 7\text{m}\times 5\text{m}.$ Find the maximum number of wooden crates each measuring $2\text{m}\times 1\text{m}\times 0.5\text{m}$ that can be transported inside the lorry.

Answer 1

Volume of the carrier $=10\times 7\times 5$
$=350{\text{m}}^3$

Volume of each wooden crate $=2\times 1\times 0.5$
$=1m^3$

So, number of wooden crates that can be transported
$=\frac{\text{Volume of the carrier}}{\text{Volume of each wooden crate}}$

$=\frac{350}{1}$

$=350$
