Use the information above to answer the following questions.

1.2.1 An employee calculates how many TVs will fit in one container.

His calculations are shown below:

Volume of container:
[tex]\[
= 6 \times 2.4 \times 2.6
\][/tex]
[tex]\[
= 37.44 \, m^3
\][/tex]

Volume of each TV box:
[tex]\[
\begin{aligned}
\text{Volume of each TV box} &= 0.97 \times 0.59 \times 0.1 \\
&= 0.05723 \, m^3
\end{aligned}
\][/tex]

Number of TVs in container:
[tex]\[
\text{Number of TVs} = \frac{\text{Volume of container}}{\text{Volume of each box}}
\][/tex]
[tex]\[
= \frac{37.44}{0.05723}
\][/tex]



Answer :

To solve the problem step-by-step, let's break it down:

1. Calculate the Volume of the Container:

Given the dimensions of the container:
- Length: [tex]\(6 \)[/tex] meters
- Width: [tex]\(2.4 \)[/tex] meters
- Height: [tex]\(2.6 \)[/tex] meters

The volume [tex]\(V\)[/tex] of the container is:
[tex]\[ V_{\text{container}} = \text{Length} \times \text{Width} \times \text{Height} \][/tex]
When you multiply these dimensions together:
[tex]\[ V_{\text{container}} = 6 \times 2.4 \times 2.6 = 37.44 \text{ cubic meters} \][/tex]

2. Calculate the Volume of Each TV Box:

Given the dimensions of the TV box:
- Length: [tex]\(0.97 \)[/tex] meters
- Width: [tex]\(0.59 \)[/tex] meters
- Height: [tex]\(0.1 \)[/tex] meters

The volume [tex]\(V\)[/tex] of each TV box is:
[tex]\[ V_{\text{TV box}} = \text{Length} \times \text{Width} \times \text{Height} \][/tex]
When you multiply these dimensions together:
[tex]\[ V_{\text{TV box}} = 0.97 \times 0.59 \times 0.1 = 0.05723 \text{ cubic meters} \][/tex]

3. Calculate the Number of TVs that Will Fit in the Container:

To find out how many TV boxes can fit into the container, you divide the volume of the container by the volume of each TV box:
[tex]\[ \text{Number of TVs} = \frac{V_{\text{container}}}{V_{\text{TV box}}} \][/tex]
Substituting the values:
[tex]\[ \text{Number of TVs} = \frac{37.44}{0.05723} \approx 654.202 \][/tex]

Therefore, approximately 654 TV boxes will fit into one container.
