Question

рас (6) How many soap cakes each measuring 5 cm x 4 cm x 2 cm can be packed in a carton measuring 1.5 m 1.2 m 0.8 m​

Answer 1

Answer

Given,

Dimensions of one soap cake = 5 cm x 4 cm x 2 cm

Dimensions of the carton = 1.5 m x 1.2 m x 0.8 m = 150 cm x 120 cm x 80 cm

To find,

Number of soap cakes that can be packed

Solution,

We can simply find the solution by this formula:

Volume of carton = Volume of soap cakes x n

(n = number of soap cakes)

Therefore,

5 x 4 x 2 = 150 x 120 x 80 x n

Therefore,

n = 150 x 120 x 80 / 5 x 4 x 2

n = 3600

Hence, the number of soap cakes that can be packed in the carton are 3600
