Diego has a large box that is 4 feet high, 3 feet wide and 5 feet long. Can he fit 65 smaller boxes that each have a volume of 1 cubic foot in the large box? Choose the number and words to complete the statements.

Question

The volume of the large box is chose cubic feet, and the volume of all of the smaller boxes is 65 cubic feet. So, Diego choose fit smaller boxes into the large box.

choose: 12,17,48,60

choose: can or cannot

Answer 1

To determine if Diego can fit the smaller boxes into the large box, we first need to calculate the volume of the large box and compare it to the volume of the smaller boxes.

1. Calculate the volume of the large box:

   • Volume = height × width × length = 4 ft × 3 ft × 5 ft = 60 cubic feet.

2. Calculate the total volume of the smaller boxes:

   • Volume of one smaller box = 1 cubic foot.
   • Total volume of 65 smaller boxes = 65 cubit feet.

Now we can fill in the statements:

The volume of the large box is 60 cubic feet, and the volume of all of the smaller boxes is 65 cubic feet. So, Diego cannot fit smaller boxes into the large box.
