The number of block that can be placed in box can be calculated by finding the area of the ample supply of identical blocks.
The number of block that can be placed in block is 84.
Given:
The box is 6 units tall, 7 units wide, and 8 units deep.
Calculate the area of the box.
[tex]\begin{aligned}{\rm Area\: of\:the\: box}=6\times7\times 8\\=336\:\rm units\\\end[/tex]
The four block has [tex]1\times1\times1[/tex] unit-cubes.
Calculate the area of 4 block.
[tex]\begin{aligned}{\rm Area\:of\:four\:block}&=4\times1\times1\times1\\&=4\\\end[/tex]
Now, calculate the number of block that can be placed,
[tex]\begin{aligend}{\rm Block\: placed\: in \:box}&=\dfrac {\rm Area\: of\: box}{\rm Area \:of\: Block}\\&=\dfrac{336}{4}\\&=84\\\end{aligned}[/tex]
Thus, the number of block that can be placed in block is 84.
