Question

the size of a matchbox is 4 cm*2.5cm*1.5cm what is the volume of a packet containing 144match boxes. how many such packets can be placed in a
of size 1.5m*84cm*60cm​

Answer 1

Answer:

504 packets

Step-by-step explanation:

Volume of match box =4×2.5×1.5=15cm cube

than

volume of 1 matchbox =15

so that volume of 144 match box=144×15=2160cm cube

volume of cartoon =1.5×84×60=7560

than

15 cm cube taken by 1 packet

so that 1 cm cube taken by 1÷15 packet

so that 7560 cm cube taken by 1÷15×7560=504 packets

Answer 2

We know that volume of cuboid = length × breadth × height

Volume occupied by single matchbox =

4×2.5×1.5^3

Volume of a packet containing 144 matchbox =15×144 CM ^3=2160^3

Volume of carton is 150 cm×84 cm×60 cm=756000 cm^3

Therefore total number of packets that can be accommodated in a carton is =

volume of the cartone/volume of the box

=75600/2160 packets

=350 packets

so, the answer is 360 packets
