3 ft x 1.5 ft x 2 ft = 36 in. x 18 in. x 24 in = 15,552 cu. in.
6 inch edges for the cubes = 6x6x6 = 216 cu. in. each
15,552 / 216 = 72
72 packages will fit in the crate.
that's it! :)

1.5 ft = 18 inches = 3 packages wide
3.0 ft = 36 inches = 6 packages deep
2.0 ft = 24 inches = 4 packages high
3 x 4 x 6 =
12 x 6 = 72 packages total

The crate's volume is 36*18*24 = 15,552 in^3
The 6 inch cube volune is 6*6*6 = 216 in^3
15552/216 = 72 bosex could fit in crate.

:) 72 would fit.
3ft * 1.5ft * 2ft= 9ft cubed.
.5ft(6 inches) * .5ft *.5ft = .125ft cubed.
.125 = 1/8.
To find out how many times 1/8 goes into 9, solve the equation 9 divided by 1/8, which would be the same as 9 * 8.
