    To determine the number of trail mix boxes that may fit in hte bigger ship boxes, we calculate their volumes and divide.

    Ship box: V = (18 in) (24 in) (12 in)

    V = 5184 in³

    Trail box: V = (4 in) (3 in) (3 in) = 36 in³

    number of trail boxes = 5184 in³ / 36 in³ = 144 boxes

    Therefore, 144 boxes may fit in the ship box.
