Respuesta :

Answer:

144 malt balls will fit in the carton

Step-by-step explanation:

* Lets explain how to solve the problem

- To solve the problem we must to know each dimensions of the

 cartoon will fit how many balls

- To do that divide each dimension by the diameter of the ball

∵ The diameter of the chocolate malt ball is 0.75 inches

∵ The dimensions of the carton are 3 inches , 3 inches , 7 inches

* Lets find how many balls will fit in the side of 3 inches

∵ 3 ÷ 0.75 = 4

∴ There are 4 balls will fit in the side of 3 inches

∵ Two dimensions of the carton are 3 inches

∴ There 4 × 4 balls fit in the base of the carton

∵ The height of the carton is 7

* Lets find how many balls can fit in the height

∵ 7 ÷ 0.75 = 9.3333

9 balls can fit the height of the carton

∴ There are 4 × 4 × 9 balls will fit in the carton

∴ The number of the balls = 4 × 4 × 9 = 144 balls

* 144 malt balls will fit in the carton
