Question 5389: How many cubed pieces of fudge that are 3 inches on an edge can be packed into a Christmas tin that is 9 inches deep by 12 inches wide by 8 inches high with the lid still being able to be closed? I got 32 but the answer is 24 and I don't know how they got it
You can put this solution on YOUR website! The volume of the christmas tin is found by multiplying the depth by the width by the height:
8*8*12=864 cubic inches.
Each cube of fudge measures 3 by 3 by 3, so it's volume is found the same way:
3*3*3=27 cubic inches
Then just divide the tin's cubic inches by the fudge's cubic inches to see how many pieces can fit:
864/27=32 pieces
