Answer:

[tex]486\ toy\ boxes[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

[tex]1\ ft=12\ in[/tex]

step 1

Convert the dimensions of the boxes to feet

[tex]4\ in=4/12=(1/3)\ ft[/tex]

step 2

Find the volume of the toy boxes

[tex]V=b^{3}[/tex]

[tex]V=(1/3)^{3}=(1/27)\ ft^{3}[/tex]

step 3

Find the volume of the crate

[tex]V=LWH[/tex]

[tex]V=(3)(3)(2)=18\ ft^{3}[/tex]

step 4

Divide the volume of the crate by the volume of the toy boxes to find the number of toy boxes

[tex]\frac{18}{(1/27)}= 486\ toy\ boxes[/tex]
