Mary's job is to package Kleenex boxes to ship out to sell at stores. The companywants to be more mindful of optimizing the amount of items they fit in each largershipping box. The larger box she is shipping the Kleenex in is a cube with sidelengths of 4 feet. If each individual Kleenex box is a cube with side lengths of 3inches, how many Kleenex boxes can she package into the larger box?

Respuesta :

First, we need to convert 4 ft into inches.

1 ft is equivalent to 12 in, then 4 ft is equivalent to 4x12 = 48 in.

To find how many cubes with side lengths of 3 inches fit in a larger cube with side lengths of 48 inches, we need to divide the larger length by the shorter length, as follows: 48/3 = 16. That is, she can fit 16 Kleenex boxes into the larger box.
