Question 586 Deck General
70% to passA case received for shipment has the markings shown in illustration D043DG below. Each carton measures 13" X 15" X 23". Ignoring broken stowage what is the total cubic capacity the entire consignment will occupy?
The correct answer is A) 779 cubic feet (22 cubic meters). To calculate the total cubic capacity of the consignment, we need to multiply the dimensions of each carton (13" x 15" x 23") and then multiply that by the total number of cartons. Given that the dimensions of each carton are provided, we can calculate the volume of a single carton as 13 x 15 x 23 = 4.48 cubic feet. Since the question states that we are ignoring broken stowage, we can simply multiply the volume of a single carton by the total number of cartons to get the total cubic capacity, which is 4.48 cubic feet x 174 cartons = 779 cubic feet. The other answer choices are incorrect because they do not accurately reflect the total cubic capacity based on the provided information.
