Abox is in the shape of a rectangular prism.
kristi is trying to ship boxes of her homemade granola trail mix. the box she is using to ship has the dimensions of 18in by 24in by 12in. each trail mix box has dimensions of 4in by 3in by 3in.
how many trail mix boxes will fit into the box to be shipped? explain how you got your answer.

To determine the number of trail mix boxes that may fit in hte bigger ship boxes, we calculate their volumes and divide.
Ship box:      V = (18 in)(24 in)(12 in)
                     V = 5184 in³
Trail box:      V = (4 in)(3 in)(3 in) = 36 in³
  number of trail boxes = 5184 in³ / 36 in³ = 144 boxes
Therefore, 144 boxes may fit in the ship box.

The slope of the function is 0.5.
