Given: A grocer is storing small cereal boxes in large cartons that measure 25 inches by 42 inches by 60 inches.
Asked: If the measurement of each small cereal box is 7 inches by 6 inches by 5 inches, then what is the maximum number of small cereal boxes that can be placed in each large carton?
Maximum small cereal boxes that can be placed in each large carton = 42*60*25/7*6*5 = 6*10*5 = 300
IMO D
Thank you. Yes, but it seems that to reply a question like this, isn't only necessary to divide the numbers.
I don't know, I got confused when I saw this question here:
https://gmatclub.com/forum/a-grocery-is ... l#p2512253The answer is that none of the statements are sufficient to respond the question even though one of them gives the volume of each box.
What I mean is that in this question, it's pretty straightforward finding the answer by making a division in this question because the bigger is multiple of the smaller one.
But, if this didn't happen? What would be my procedure to solve a question like this?
Simply divide measure by measure until finding a combination that gives to me the greater number of boxes possible?
Thank you in advance.
