Q.

A store owner is packing books into larger boxes that measure 25 by 42 by 60 inches. If the measurement of each book is 7 by 6 by 5 inches, then how many books can be placed in the box ?

View Answer

Correct choice: D

Explanation:

Number of books that can be placed in the larger box is given by Volume of Box / Volume of book. Now, n = 25 x 42 x 60 / 7 x 6 x 5 = 63000 / 210 = 300. Therefore, 300 books can be in that box.
