You can put this solution on YOUR website! 30 cm = 0.3 m, 0.3^3 = 0.027 m^3 is volume of a box
:
4.5 * 6 * 3 = 81 m^3 is volume of container
:
81 / 0.027 = 3000 boxes fit in container
:
3000 * 5 = 15000 kgs is the weight of 300 boxes
:
15000 + 1000 = 16000 kgs is the weight of the 300 boxes plus the weight of the container
