You can put this solution on YOUR website! Given: The dimensions of a yardstick ar 1/4" x 3" x 36"
The dimensions of the box are 30" x 3" x 36"

Two of the dimensions of the yardstick and box match perfectly.
Both are 3" wide and 36" high.

Divide 30 by 1/4
30/(1/4) = 120
120 yardsticks will fit in the box
