Respuesta :

Answer:

1920 rings

Step-by-step explanation:

We need to simply find the volume of the package and the volume of the cube and then divide the volume of the package by the volume of the cube.

The package is a rectangular prism. The volume of a rectangular prism is:

V = L * W * H

where L = length

W = width

H = height

The volume of the package is:

16 * 10 * 12 = 1920 [tex]in^3[/tex]

The volume of a cube is:

V = L^3

where L = length of side

The volume of the cube is:

V= 1^3 = 1 [tex]in^3[/tex]

The number of rings the jewelry store received is:

1920 / 1 = 1920 rings
