How many 600 cm³ bags of sugar will fit in a packing crate measuring 0.5 m by 1.6 m by 1.5 m?
A 2031
B 1878
C 2001
D 2068
To find the number of 600 cm³ bags of sugar that can fit in the packing crate, we need to calculate the volume of the crate first.
Volume = length * width * height
Volume = (0.5 m)(1.6 m)(1.5 m)
Volume = 0.8 m³
Now, we need to convert the volume of the crate from cubic meters to cubic centimeters because the volume of the bags is given in cubic centimeters.
1 m³ = 1,000,000 cm³
0.8 m³ = 0.8 * 1,000,000 cm³
0.8 m³ = 800,000 cm³
Next, we need to divide the volume of the crate by the volume of one bag to find the number of bags that can fit inside.
Number of bags = Volume of crate / Volume of one bag
Number of bags = 800,000 cm³ / 600 cm³
Number of bags = 1333.33...
Since we cannot have a fraction of a bag, we must round down to the nearest whole number.
Number of bags = 1333
Therefore, the answer is not provided in the given options.
