Length/width-wise there are two possibilities: Length Width Length Width
Either place the 1 3/8 inch sides along the Box 12 in 10 in 12 in 10 in
10-inch side of the box, or along the 12-inch Eraser 1 3/8 in 13/16 in 13/16 in 1 3/8 in
side of the box. Figuring how many will fit
How many fit 8 12 14 7
either way, we can make up a little table:
Since 14 × 7 = 98 is more than 8 × 12, it's better to place the 13/16 in side along the 10 in side of the box.
Then total 98 × 64 = 6272 erasers will fit.

7. The paycheck was $1,290. $860 is 5/6 of what was left after taxes, so 1/6 is $172, and total after
taxes is $1032. This is 4/5 of the paycheck, so divide that by 4 to find 1/5,
and then multiply by 5 to get the total paycheck.
