Question

A godown is in the form of a cuboid of measures 60 m × 40 m × 30 m. How many cuboidal boxes can be stored in it if the volume of one box is 0.8 m³?

Answer 1

Volume of one box = 0.8 m³

Volume of godown = 60 × 40 × 30 = 72000 m³

Number of boxes that can be stored in the godown = `"Volume of the godown"/"Volume of one box"`

= `(60 xx 40 xx 30)/(0.8)`

= 90,000

Hence the number of cuboidal boxes that can be stored in the godown is 90,000.
