To give their animals essential minerals and nutrients, farmers and ranchers often provide a block of salt called a “salt lick” for their animals to lick. A rancher is ordering a box of cube-shaped salt licks. The edge length of each salt lick is ¾ inches. The box that will contain the salt licks is 25 4/5 inches long, 2 3/5 inches wide, and 36 1/3 inches tall. At most, how many whole salt lick cubes can fit in the box?

To find the space Alex has to store clothes inside the box, you need to calculate the volume of the box using the formula for the volume of a rectangular prism:
[ text{Volume} = text{Length} times text{Width} times text{Height} ]
For Alex’s box:
– Length = 15 inches
– Width = 14 inches
– Height = 7 inches
Now, let’s calculate it:
[
text{Volume} = 15 , text{inches} times 14 , text{inches} times 7 , text{inches}
]
First, multiply the length and width:
[
15 times 14 = 210 , text{square inches}
]
Next, multiply that result by the height:
[
210 times 7 = 1470 , text{cubic inches}
]
So, Alex has 1470 cubic inches of space to store clothes inside the box.
