Answer 1

Answer 1:- The intermodal container holds 2,720 cubic feet, however, the top six inches are of no use. The container will hold 2,560 Style A shades; Let There Be Light would need to use four containers (8,100 shades divided by 2,560 shades per container) to transport the Style A shades

There would be 8 x 40, or 320 columns of 12, yielding 3,840 lamp shades, and would weigh less than 40,000 pounds. Let There Be Light would need to use three containers (8,100 shades divided by 3,840 shades per container) to transport the Style B shades
