Question

a shoebox has a length of 1 1/4 feet and a width of 1 foot and a height of 1/2

cubes are packed into it the size of 1/4 how many can u fit?

what is the volume of it?

Answer 1

40

Volume of shoe box = Vbox = 1.25 * 1 * 0.5 = 0.625 ft^3

Volume of each cube = Vcube = 0.25 * 0.25 * 0.25 = 0.015625

No of cubes that can be fit = 0.625/0.015625 = 40 cubes.
