The maximum number of supply boxes she can pack in the crate is 300, if supply box is 1.5 feet tall, 1 foot wide, and 2 feet deep. The crate is 9 feet high, 10 feet wide, and 10 feet deep.

Step-by-step explanation:

The given is,

              Dimensions of supply box - 1.5 feet tall, 1 foot wide, and 2 feet deep

              Dimensions of crate - 9 feet high, 10 feet wide, and 10 feet deep

Step:1

             Volume of supply box,

                                 .............................(1)

            Where, w - Width of box

                          h - Height of box

                           l - Length of box

            From the given,

                         h = 1.5 feet

                         w = 1 foot

                           l = 2 feet

            Equation (1) becomes,

                                = 3 cubic feet

Step:2

            Volume of crate,

                                 .............................(1)

            Where, w - Width of box

                          h - Height of box

                           l - Length of box

            From the given,

                         h = 9 feet

                         w = 10 foot

                           l = 10 feet

            Equation (1) becomes,

                                = 900 cubic feet

Step:3

            No. of boxes can pack in the crate,

                                               =

                                               =

                                               = 300 supply boxes

Result:

             The maximum number of supply boxes she can pack in the crate is 300, if supply box is 1.5 feet tall, 1 foot wide, and 2 feet deep. The crate is 9 feet high, 10 feet wide, and 10 feet deep.
