Question

The dimensions of a room are 2.5 m x 3 m x 5 m. How many wooden boxes of dimensions
20 cm x 30 cm x 50 cm can be stored in the room?

Answer 1

Answer:

125 boxes can be filled inside that room

Step-by-step explanation:

given, dimensions of the room as 2.5 m x 3 m x 5 m

=> volume of the room = 2.5*3*5 m³

                                      = 37.5 m³

dimensions of a wooden box is 20 cm x 30 cm x 50 cm

=> volume of the wooden box = 20*30*50 cm³

                                      = 30,000 cm³

                                      = 30,000/1000000 cm³        ( ∵ 1000000cm³ = 1m³ )

                                      = 0.3 m³

=> no. of wooden boxes that can be filled in the room = $\frac{volume of Room}{volume of wooden box}$

            = 37.5 m³ / 0.3 m³

            = 375/3

            = 125 boxes
