    First, figure out the cubic feet for each box and for the space. Post those here.

    This problem is a bit trickier than simply dividing the volume of the room by the volume of each box, as you need to figure out if it's possible to completely fill the volume of the room with boxes. You need to devise a lay out for a "layer" that fills as much of the floor as posssible.
