Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
First we need to find the volume of the box and the container
Volume of the box = LWH
= 15×15×25
Volume of the box = 5625in³
Volume of the container = (10×15×50)ft³
= 7500ft³
If 135ft³ is already occupied in the container, the remaining portion will be 7500-135 = 7365ft³
Converting to cubic inches
7365ft³ = 7365×(12×12×12)in³
Note that 1ft = 12in
7365ft³ = 12,726,720in³
Number of 5625in³ boxes that will fill 12,726,720in³ will be expressed as 12,726,720in³/5625in³
= 2262.528
≈ 2263boxes
