volume = LWH = (5)(3)(2) = 30 ft^3

number of cubes = 30/(1/8) = 240

We do not see this box, since it is not presented in the post.

But keep in mind, that based on volumes, we can ONLY give an estimate the number of packaging cubes.


If in concrete case the dimension of the small cubes do not fit to dimension of the box,
it MAY HAPPEN that estimation DOES NOT provide an exact value.
