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

Answer 1

Answer:

v of cuboid =

$l \times b \times h$

$4 \times 2.5 \times 1.5$

$15$

volume of packet containing 144 matchboxes=

$15 \times 144 = 2160cm$

packets placed in carton =

$150cm \times 84cm\times 60cm \div 2160cm$

[tex]7560cm \div 2160cm = 350 packets
