Question

Mr. John has a dangerous relationship with a new type of Hot Cheetos Product, called Super Hot Cheetos Limon. He is so obsessed that he wants to cover his entire classroom floor in a 2-foot layer of Hot Cheetos and spend his whole summer break eating them. 
The classroom is in the shape of a rectangular prism, 25 feet long, 20 feet wide and 10 feet high? 
Each Super Hot Cheetos is approximately 3 inches long, 1 inch wide and 1 inch high
Each bag of Super Hot Cheetos contains approximately 50 Cheetos 
How many bags of Super Hot Cheetos Limon should Mr. John buy? 
rectangle of prism SA = 2(lw)+2(lw)+2(wh)

First of all the surface area has nothing to do with the question
Secondly, the height of the room has noting to do with it, since you want the Limos to fill only two feet high.
Thirdly, I assume you want to pack them so that no space is empty in the layer of 2 feet.

The length of the room is 300 inches by 240
so can place a layer of Limons 100 in length and 240 in width, for a total of 24000 in the first layer
but he wants them 2 feet or 24 inches high, so the total Limos is 576000 of them
number of bags he needs = 576000/50 = 11520

very silly question!
