The pencil section at the school store has dimensions of 19 X 29 X 30 inches3. One box of pencils has the dimension of 10 X 6 X 4 inches3 and can hold 100 pencils. How many pencils can the section of the school store hold?

Answer 1

19x29x30 = 16530 in^3

10x6x4 = 240 in^3

16530/240 = 19x29/8 = 68.875

68.875 x 100 = 687.5 or 687 maximum number of pencils for the store section
