Straws are shipped into a box with dimensions 6.0x6.0x8.0 inches. each straw is 3/8 inches wide and 7 3/4 inches long.

If you want to find out how many straws can fit in the box thenthere are two ways to solve this question, i will state both.1st find the area of the box 6*6*8=2882nd then find the area of a straw 3/8 * 7 3/4=2.906253rd divide. 288 divided by 2.90625=99.09677419here is the other and more probable way.(i would vote on this one)1st divide 6 (the width of the box) by the width of the straw 3/8 = 162nd divide 6(the height of the box) by the width of the straw 3/8 = 163rd multiply 16 by 16 = 2564th the length of the box is 8in and the straw is 7 3/4 in so only one straw can fit in the box length wise.therefore your answer is 256.
