How many 2cm thick Thassos Extra Marble slabs fit in a 20 ft container?
To calculate the number of 2cm thick Thassos Extra Marble slabs that can fit in a 20 ft container, we need to consider the dimensions of both the slabs and the container. A 20 ft container typically has dimensions of approximately 20 ft in length, 8 ft in width, and 8.5 ft in height. However, we need to account for the interior dimensions of the container, which are usually slightly smaller. Assuming the slabs are rectangular, we can calculate the number of slabs that fit side by side and then stack them vertically. Lets assume the dimensions of each Thassos Extra Marble slab are 60 cm (length) by 60 cm (width), and the thickness is 2 cm. First, we convert the dimensions of the slabs and container to the same unit (cm): 20 ft = 609.6 cm (approx.) 8 ft = 243.84 cm (approx.) 8.5 ft = 259.08 cm (approx.) Next, we calculate the number of slabs that can fit side by side: Number of slabs side by side = (Container width) / (Slab width) = 243.84 cm / 60 cm ≈ 4.06 slabs (approx.) Since we cannot have a fraction of a slab, we round down to get a whole number, so we can fit 4 slabs side by side. Next, we calculate the number of layers (stacks) we can make by dividing the interior height of the container by the slab thickness: Number of layers = (Container height) / (Slab thickness) = 259.08 cm / 2 cm = 129.54 layers (approx.) Since we cannot have a fraction of a layer, we round down to get a whole number, so we can stack 129 layers. Finally, the total number of Thassos Extra Marble slabs that fit in a 20 ft container is the product of the slabs side by side and the number of layers: Total number of slabs = (Number of slabs side by side) x (Number of layers) = 4 slabs x 129 layers = 516 slabs Therefore, approximately 516 Thassos Extra Marble slabs with a thickness of 2 cm can fit in a 20 ft container.
