Question 585 Deck General

The correct answer is C) 65 cubic feet. To calculate the total cubic capacity, we need to know the dimensions of the individual cartons and the total number of cartons. The problem states that the consignment has "similar cartons as shown in illustration D042DG", which we can assume are the dimensions provided in that illustration. Assuming 10% broken stowage, the total cubic capacity can be calculated as follows: Dimensions of each carton: 2 ft x 1.5 ft x 1.5 ft = 4.5 cubic feet Total number of cartons: 65 cubic feet / 4.5 cubic feet per carton = 14.44 cartons (rounded up to 15 cartons) Total cubic capacity with 10% broken stowage: 15 cartons x 4.5 cubic feet per carton / 0.9 (to account for 10% broken stowage) = 65 cubic feet. The other options are incorrect because they do not accurately reflect the total cubic capacity based on the given information.
