The volume of a container is the amount of space in it.
From the complete question (see attachment), we have the following parameters
Fish cubes
[tex]\mathbf{Length = \frac 14ft}[/tex]
Shipping box
[tex]\mathbf{Length = 3\frac 34ft}[/tex]
[tex]\mathbf{Width = 3ft}[/tex]
[tex]\mathbf{Height = 3\frac 14ft}[/tex]
(a) The number of cubes on the edges
To do this, we simply the dimensions of the boxes, by the length of the fish cube
So, we have:
[tex]\mathbf{Length= 3\frac 34ft \div \frac 14 = 15}[/tex]
[tex]\mathbf{Width = 3\div \frac 14 = 12}[/tex]
[tex]\mathbf{Height = 3\frac 14ft \div \frac 14 = 13}[/tex]
Hence, the number of cubes on the edges are: 15, 12 and 13
(b) The total number of cubes in the shipping box
To do this, we multiply the results of the computation in (a)
So, we have:
[tex]\mathbf{Amount = Length \times Width \times Height}[/tex]
[tex]\mathbf{Amount = 15 \times 12 \times 13}[/tex]
[tex]\mathbf{Amount = 2340}[/tex]
Hence, the number of fish cubes in the box is: 2340
