Isaac is packing boxes into a carton that is 12 inches long 18 inches wide and 6 inches high. The boxes are 4 inches long 6 inches wide and 2 inches high. How many boxes will fit inside the carton?
Vc = 12*18*6 = 1296 in^3.
Vb = 4*6*2 = 48 in^3.
Vc/Vb = 1296/48 = 27 Boxes.

To find the number of boxes that will fit inside the carton, we need to calculate the volume of both the carton and the boxes.
The volume of the carton can be found by multiplying its length, width, and height:
Volume of the carton = 12 inches * 18 inches * 6 inches
The volume of each box can be found in the same way:
Volume of each box = 4 inches * 6 inches * 2 inches
Now, we can divide the volume of the carton by the volume of each box to find the number of boxes that will fit:
Number of boxes = Volume of the carton / Volume of each box
Let's calculate it step-by-step:
Volume of the carton = 12 inches * 18 inches * 6 inches = 1296 cubic inches
Volume of each box = 4 inches * 6 inches * 2 inches = 48 cubic inches
Number of boxes = 1296 cubic inches / 48 cubic inches = 27 boxes
Therefore, Isaac can fit 27 boxes inside the carton.
