A shipping crate contains 576 boxes of cereal. you open the top of the crate and you count 12 boxes across the front and 6 along a side. How many layers of cereal boxes are in the crate?
There are 8 layers in the crate! Our volume is 576 units, or cereal boxes. 576 = 12 × 6 × UNKNOWN. We can find our unknown number by dividing: 576 ÷ 12 ÷ 6 = 8 layers! I hope this explained it!
ok so there is 12 boxes by 6 boxes per layer so that is 72 boxes per layer the crate has 576 boxes therefore 576/72 and the answer is 8 layersi hope it helped you :-}
