Answer: 15 boxes
Step-by-step explanation:
Given: The height of the storage closet=5 feet
We know that 1 foot = 12 inches
In inches, the height of the storage closet =[tex]5\times12\ inches[tex]
Thus, the height of the storage closet = 60 inches
If the height of one box is 4 inches, then the number of boxes can be stacked in the closet=[tex]\frac{60}{4}=15[tex]
Hence, the number of boxes can be stacked in the closet = 15
The ratio of feet and inches is 12: 1. Then the number of boxes that can be stacked is 15.
The division means the separation of something into different parts, sharing of something among different people, places, etc.
A storage closet is 5 feet high.
If one box is 4 inches high.
Conversion of feet into inches
1 foot = 12 inches
5 feet = 12 × 5 inches
5 feet = 60 inches
The number of boxes that can be stacked will be
[tex]\rm Number \ of \ boxes = \dfrac{Height\ of\ storage}{Height \ of \ box}\\\\\\Number \ of \ boxes = \dfrac{60}{4}\\\\\\Number \ of \ boxes = 15[/tex]
The number of boxes that can be stacked is 15.
