John is designing a shipping container that boxes will be packed into. The container he designed will hold 24

I suck a** in every aspect of math and don't know how to answer this....

First we need a little more information

We need to know how big the boxes are each

Then we can begin to calculate how big we need the container to be to hold 24 boxes

Can you type the information into 'Additional Details'?

PS
we could say if each small box was a cube of side x cms
the volume of 1 box = x^3
so
volume of 24 boxes = 24x^3 cubic cms

So the container would need a minimum of 24x^3 volume

So each side of container would be cube root (24x^3)
This would be an exact tight fit

PPS

Ok now the side of the container is 2 times cube root of 24x^3

so the volume is (2^3)*24x^3 = 8*24x^3 =192x^3

This is 8 times more boxes
