A container is 24 m long, 9 m wide and 8 m high.

How many books can it hold if each book is 20 cm

long, 16 cm wide and 6 cm thick?

900,000 books.

Step-by-step explanation:

The volume of the container = 24 * 9 * 8

= 1728 m^3

The volume of each book = 20*16*6 = 1920 cm^3

There are 100*100*100 = 1,000,000 cm^3 in 1 m^3.

So the number of books the container can hold

= (1728 * 1000000) / 1920

= 900,000.
