Answer:

The answer to your question is: 778 boxes

Step-by-step explanation:

Data

package = 10 in x 10 in x 14 in

truck = 14 ftx 30 ft x 18 ft

Formula

V = width x length x height

Package volume = 10 x 10 x 14 = 1400 in2

Truck volume = 14 x 30 x 18 = 7560 ft2

Now we need to change in2 to ft2 (rule of three)

           1 ft2 ---------------- 144 in2

            x ------------------- 1400 in2

  x = (1400x1)/144 = 9.72 ft2

Now divide the truck's volume by package volume

# of boxes = 7560 / 9.72 = 777.7 ≈ 778
