La sup della base del box e' : S box=60 x10=600 S crate =15 x5=75 Sulla base del box si possono mettere 600/75=8 crate Sull' altezza (high) si possono mettere 13/6,5=2 strati 8( crate/ strato) x 2 (strati)=16 crates

Anonymous · Answer

The Joneses can fit a total of 16 crates into one boxcar. This is determined by calculating how many crates can fit based on the dimensions of the crate and the boxcar. Specifically, 8 crates fit on the base and 2 layers can be stacked due to the height limitation.
