Question

packets of biscuits measuring 2cm x 8cm x 4cm are packed into a box which measures 24cm x 16cm x 4cm how many biscuits will fit into the box please show steps

Answer 1

Answer:

For biscuits L = 2 cm , B = 8 cm , H = 2 cm

For Box. l = 24 cm , b = 16 cm , h = 4 cm

No of biscuits = Volume of box

-------------------------------

Volume of biscuit

l × b × h / L × B × H

= 24 × 16 × 4 / 2 × 8 × 4

= 24 biscuits

Answer 2

Answer:

24 biscuit packets will fit into the box.

Step-by-step explanation:

Formula to find volume of Cuboid = l * b * h

Length of the box = 24 cm

Breadth of the box = 16 cm

Height of the box = 4 cm

∴ Volume of the box = 24 * 16 * 4

= 1536 c$m^{3}$

Length of the biscuit packet = 2 cm

Breadth of the biscuit packet = 8 cm

Height of the biscuit packet = 4 cm

∴ Volume of the biscuit packet = 2 * 8 * 4

= 64 c$m^{3}$

Number of Biscuits that will fit into the box = Volume Of Box/ Volume Of Biscuit

=  1536 / 64

= 24 biscuit packets

Therefore, 24 biscuit packets will fit into the box.
