What is the maximum number of rectangular blocks measuring 2 by 3 by 4 that can
fit into a box measuring 12 by 21 by 40?

Respuesta :

Volume of small box :

[tex]v=l\times b\times h\\\\v=2\times 3\times 4\\\\v=24\ units^3[/tex]

Volume of big box :

[tex]V=L\times B\times H\\\\V=12\times 21\times 40\\\\V=10080\ units^3[/tex]

Number of small boxes that can fit into bigger box :

[tex]n=\dfrac{V}{v}\\\\n=\dfrac{10080}{24}\\\\n=420[/tex]

Therefore , 420 such boxes can fit .

Hence , this is the required solution .
