Answer:

The dimensions of the textbooks are 11in x 14in x 2 in.

To find out how many books can fit into each box, we need to find the volume of the textbooks and the volume of the box.

The volume of the textbooks is 11in x 14in x 2 in = 308 cubic inches.

The volume of the box is 12 in x 30 in x 12 in = 4320 cubic inches.

We can divide the volume of the box by the volume of the textbooks to find out how many textbooks can fit into each box.

4320 cubic inches / 308 cubic inches = 14.12 books

Therefore, 14 books can fit into each box.

good luck :))
