A godown measure 40m × 25m × 15m. Find the maximum number of wooden crates, each measuring 1.5m × 1.25m × 0.5m that can be stored in the godown.
ANSWER:
It is given that
Length of the godown = 40m
Breadth of the godown = 25m
Height of the godown = 15m
We know that
Volume of godown = l × b × h
By substituting the values
Volume of godown = 40 × 25 × 15
On further calculation
Volume of godown = 15000 m3
It is given that
Length of wooden crate = 1.5m
Breadth of wooden crate = 1.25m
Height of wooden crate = 0.5m
We know that
Volume of each wooden crate = l × b × h
By substituting the values
Volume of each wooden crate = 1.5 × 1.25 × 0.5
On further calculation
Volume of each wooden crate = 0.9375 m3
So we get
Number of wooden crates that can be stored in godown = Volume of godown/ Volume of each wooden crate
By substituting the values
Number of wooden crates that can be stored in godown = 15000/ 0.9375
So we get
Number of wooden crates that can be stored in godown = 16000
Therefore, the number of wooden crates that can be stored in the godown are 16000.
