What is the, begin emphasis, greatest, end emphasis, number of packages that he can put in the container? Enter the answer in the box.
To find the greatest number of packages that can fit in the container, we need to determine how many packages can fit in each dimension.
In the width dimension, there can be 10 inches / 5 inches = 2 packages.
In the height dimension, there can be 8 inches / 4 inches = 2 packages.
In the depth dimension, there can be 14 inches / 2 inches = 7 packages.
Therefore, the greatest number of packages that can fit in the container is 2 x 2 x 7 = 28.
