Question:

A godown measures 40 m × 25 m × 15 m. Find the maximum number of wooden crates each measuring 1.5 m × 1.25 m × 0.5 m that can be stored in the godown.

Solution:

⇒Volume of godown = l × b × h = 40 × 25 × 15 m³ = 15000 m³
⇒Volume of 1 wooden crate = 1.5 × 1.25 × 0.5 = 0.9375 m³
⇒No. of wooden crates stored in godown = 15000 / 0.9375 = 16000
∴ 16000 crates can be stored.
