Question

The size of a matchbox is 4cm into 2.5cm into 1.5cm. What is the volume of a packet containing 144 matchbox? How many packets can be placed in a carton of size 1.5cm into 84cm into 60cm.

Answer 1

Answer:

Volume of a packet containing 144 matchboxes = 2160 cc

No. of packets in carton = 504 packets

Step-by-step explanation:

Dimensions of matchbox: 4 cm, 2.5 cm, 1.5 cm

Volume of one matchbox: 4 * 2.5 * 1.5 = 15 cc

Volume of a packet containing 144 matchboxes = 15 * 144 = 2160 cc

Carton's dimensions: 1.5 cm, 84 cm, 60 cm

Volume of carton = 1.5 * 84 * 60 = 7560 cc

No. of packets in carton = 7560 / 15 = 504 packets

Answer 2

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that

The matchbox length is 4 cm

The matchbox breadth is 2.5 cm

The matchbox height is 1.5 cm

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

Volume occupied by single matchbox = 4 × 2.5 × 1.5 = 15 $cm3$

Volume of a packet containing 144 matchbox = 15 × 144 = 2160 $cm3$  

Volume of carton is 1.5cm × 84cm × 60 cm = 756000 $cm3$  

Therefore, total number of packets can be accommodated in a carton is$=(Volume of the carton)/(volume of the box)$

$=75600/2160$

= 350 packets

The total number of packets can be accommodated in a carton is 350 packets
