Answer:
Can be packed 96 cubes in the box
Step-by-step explanation:
To solve this exercise we are going to calculate the two volumes
To calculate the volume of a rectangular prism we have to use the following formula:
v = volume
w = width = 8 in
l = length = 6 in
h = height = 16 in
v = w * h * l
we replace the values that we know
v = 8 in * 6in * 16 in
v = 768 in³
The volume of the box is 768 in³
Now we calculate the volume of the cube
v = 2in * 2in * 2in
v = 8 in³
Now we divide the volume of the box by the volume of the cubes and it will tell us how many cubes fit in the box
768 in³ / 8 in³ = 96
Can be packed 96 cubes in the box
