A moving van has a cargo space shaped like a cuboid: 4 m × 2.5 m × 2 m. If each rectangular sofa occupies 2.5 m³, how many sofas can be transported at once?
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: D
Explanation
Given:
Dimensions of the cuboid = 4 m × 2.5 m × 2 m
Volume of one sofa = 2.5 m³
According to the formula:
Volume of the cuboid = l × b × h
Volume of the cuboid = 4 × 2.5 × 2 = 20 m³
Number of sofas = 20 / 2.5 = 8
