Question

An ice-cream brick measures 20 cm by 10 cm by 7 cm. How many such bricks can be stored in deep fridge whose inner dimensions are 100 cm by 50 cm by 42 cm?

Answer 1

Given,

Dimensions of ice cream brick = 20 cm× 10 cm× 7 cm

Dimensions of fridge = 100 cm × 50 cm × 42 cm

So,

Number of bricks can be put in fridge = \(\frac{volume\,of\,fridge}{volume\,of\,one\,ice\,brick}\) = \(\frac{100\times 50\times 42}{20\times 10\times 7}\) = 150 ice cream
