Answer:
19
Step-by-step explanation:
Number of crackers that can be fit into the box = volume of the box / volume of crackers
Volume = length x width x height
volume of the box = 8 cm x 2.4 cm x 60 cm = 1152 cm^3
Volume of the crackers = 3cm x 4 cm x 5cm = 60cm^3
1152/60 = 19.2
Rounding 19.2 to the nearest whole number gives 19
