a cubic crate with an edge length of 16 feet will be used to contain cubic wooden boxes. each wooden box has an edge length of 4 feet. how many wooden boxes can the crate contain?

1 answer

one way: 16^3 = 4096
4^3 = 64

so, there are 4096/64 = 64 boxes

or,

each side of the crate holds 16/4 = 4 boxes. 4^3 = 64
