Answer: There are 14 boxes that can be fit on a shelf.
Step-by-step explanation:
Since we have given that
Length of cracker box = 12 in.
Width of cracker box = 10 in.
Height of cracker box = 2 in.
So, Area of base of cracker box is given by
[tex]Length\times breadth\\\\=10\times 2\\\\=20\ in^2[/tex]
And the dimensions of shelf is
Length = 20 inch
Width = 14 inch
So, Area will be
[tex]Length\times width\\\\=20\times 14\\\\=280\ in^2[/tex]
So, Number of boxes can be fit on the shelf is given by
[tex]\frac{280}{20}=14[/tex]
Hence, there are 14 boxes that can be fit on a shelf.
