Answer 1

156

Explanation:

We are given that

Length of cardboard, l=69.9 cm

Width of cardboard, b=24 cm

Height of cardboard, h=36.01 cm

Length of book, l=22 cm

Width of book, b=19.5 cm

Thickness of book, h=0.9 cm

Volume of cuboid=lbh

Using the formula

Volume of cardboard=
`69.9* 24* 36.01 cm^3`

Volume of one book=
`22* 19.5* 0.9 cm^3`

Number pf exercise book=
`(volume\;of\;cardboard)/(volume\;of;one\;book)`

Number of exercise book=
`(69.9* 24* 36.01)/(22* 19.5* 0.9)`

Number of exercise book=156
