Question

A store room in the form of a cuboid has measures $42m\times 35m\times 21m$. How many cuboidal boxes can be stored in it if the volume of one box is $0.7m^3$? [2 Marks]

Answer 1

Given: Volume of one box $=0.7m^3$

Volume of the store room $=42\times 35\times 21$
$=30,870m^3$ [1 Mark]

Number of boxes that can be stored in the room
$=\frac{\text{Volume of the room}}{\text{Volume of one box}}=\frac{30870}{0.7}$
$=44,100$
So, The number of cuboidal boxes that can be stored in the room is $44,100$. [1 Mark]
