=306 cm
No.of compass boxes that can be placed in the box=Volume of box/Volume of compass boxes
=33,048cm/306cm
=108 boxes

Answer 2

Answer:

108 Boxes can be arranged

Step-by-step explanation:

A box measuring 51 cm x 36 cm x 18 cm. In this box, how many compass-boxes measuring 17 cm in length, 9 cm in width and 2 cm in height can be arranged?

Volume of box = 51 * 36 * 18  cm³

Volume of a compass box = 17 * 9 * 2 cm³

Number of compass box that can be fitted in box =  Volume of box / Volume of a compass box

= (51 * 36 * 18) /  (17 * 9 * 2 )

= 3 * 4 * 9

= 108

108 Boxes can be arranged
