Which of the following is the total number of whole boxes that measure 2 ft * 2 ft * 2 ft that can be stored in a room that measures 9 ft * 9 ft * 9 ft, if the size of the boxes cannot not be altered?

A. 125

B. 64

C. 18

D. 92

Answer Explanation:

Number of boxes in the room is equal to the volume of the room divided by the volume of one box

Volume of the room=9 ft*9 ft*9 ft= 729 ft3

Volume of one box = 2 ft* 2 ft * 2 ft= 8 ft3

Number of boxes= 729 ft3/ 8 ft3= 91.125 boxes

Thus, the room can store 91.125 boxes, which is about 92 boxes

Therefore, the Correct Answer is D.

  • Q #1: A consumer recently purchased a new car and paid $48,000. This amount is $2,000 less than twice what the consumer’s friend paid for their car. Which of the following is the amount that the friend paid for their car?

    A. $23,000

    B. $46,000

    C. $25,000

    D. $50,000

    Answer Explanation

    Let the amount the friend pays be x. Then, 2 times what the friend pays is 2x. Less $2,000 what the friend pays is 2x-2000.

    Now we know that

    2x-2000=48000

    Add 2000 to both sides of the equation

    2x-2000+2000=48000+2000

    2x+2000-2000=50000

    2x=50000

    Divide both sides by 2

    X=25000

    Thus, the friend pays $25,000 for their car.

  • Q #3: Which of the following is the correct simplification of the expression below? 12 ÷ 3 * 4 - 1 + 23

    A. 6

    B. 21

    C. 38

    D. 23

    Answer Explanation

    Use the order of operations to solve the given equation. The acronym PEDMAS will help us to solve the given problem.

    P- Parenthesis

    E-Exponents

    D-Divide

    M-Multiply

    A-Add

    S-Subtract

    From the given equation start with solving :-

    12 ÷3 * 4 - 1 + 23

    Next, carry out division 12÷3=4

    4*4-1+23

    Multiply is 4*4=16

    16-1+23

    Add or subtract can be conducted in any order. From left to right, we subtract followed by addition

    Subtract 16-1=15

    15+23

    The last step is to add 15+23

    15+23=38

    Thus, the answer to the given equation is 38.
