Question

How many soap cakes can be placed in a box of size $56cm\times 0.4m\times 0.25m$, if the size of a soap cake is $7cm\times 5cm\times 2.5cm$?

Answer 1

Size of box = $56cm\times 0.4m\times 0.25m$
=$56cm\times 40cm\times 25cm$
$\therefore$ Volume = $56\times 40\times 25c{m}^3=56000c{m}^3$
Size of a soap cake = $7cm\times 5cm\times 2.5cm$
$\therefore$ Volume = $7\times 5\times 2.5c{m}^2=87.5c{m}^3$
$\therefore$ Number of cakes to be kept in the box
= $\frac{56000}{87.5}=640$
