Question

ONE

Daniel is paid £3 for each parcel he can fit in his van.
Each parcel and his van is shown below.
How many parcels can Daniel fit in his van and how
much money will he make?
3m
2m
2m deep (van)

0.5m
0.2m
0.3m (parcel)

Answer 1

The volume of a parcel is:

Volume_parcel = 0.5m * 0.2m * 0.3m = 0.03m³

To find out how many parcels Daniel can fit in his van, we divide the volume of the van by the volume of a parcel:

Number_of_parcels = Volume_van / Volume_parcel = 12m³ / 0.03m³ = 400 parcels

So Daniel can fit 400 parcels in his van.

To calculate how much money Daniel will make, we multiply the number of parcels by the amount paid for each parcel:

Money_made = Number_of_parcels * £3 = 400 parcels * £3 = £1200

Therefore, Daniel will make £1200 by fitting 400 parcels in his van.
