Question:
A godown measures 40 m × 25 m × 15 m. Find the maximum number of wooden crates, each measuring 1.5 m × 1.25 m × 0.5 m, that can be stored in the godown.
Solution:
Volume of the godown = 40 m × 25 m × 15 m = 15000 m3
Volume of each wooden crate = 1.5 m × 1.25 m × 0.5 m = 0.9375 m3
∴ Maximum number of wooden crates that can be stored in the godown
$=\frac{\text { Volume of the godown }}{\text { Volume of each wooden crate }}$
$=\frac{15000}{0.9375}$
$=16000$
