How many 3cm thick Thassos Spider Marble slabs fit in a 20 ft container?
To calculate how many 3cm thick Thassos Spider Marble slabs fit in a 20 ft container, we need to consider the dimensions of the container and the dimensions of the slabs. A 20 ft container generally has the following dimensions: Length: 5.898 meters (589.8 cm) Width: 2.352 meters (235.2 cm) Height: 2.393 meters (239.3 cm) Lets assume that the Thassos Spider Marble slabs have a standard size: Length: 240 cm (including some extra length for handling) Width: 120 cm (including some extra width for handling) Height: 3 cm To calculate how many slabs can fit in the container, we need to divide the available space in the container by the size of each slab. Length-wise: The container can fit 589.8 cm / 240 cm = 2.457 slabs Width-wise: The container can fit 235.2 cm / 120 cm = 1.960 slabs Height-wise: The container can fit 239.3 cm / 3 cm = 79.767 slabs (although its not possible to fit a fraction of a slab) To find the maximum number of slabs, we need to multiply the number of slabs in each dimension: 2.457 slabs (length) * 1.960 slabs (width) * 79 slabs (height) = 305.422 slabs Therefore, approximately 305 Thassos Spider Marble slabs can fit in a 20 ft container.
