🔍 Key Concepts

• Use the shipping mark fraction (e.g. 201 / 300) to determine how many packages are in the entire consignment. • Convert the carton dimensions in inches to cubic feet, then multiply by the total number of cartons. • Apply broken stowage as an increase in required space (extra percentage added to the measured volume).

💭 Think About

• What does the lower marking (201 / 300) tell you about the total number of cartons in this shipment? • Once you find the cubic volume of one carton in cubic feet, how do you scale that up for all cartons? • Does 10% broken stowage mean you take 10% off or add 10% to the stowage space you calculated?

✅ Before You Answer

• Be sure you have the correct total number of cartons before any volume calculation. • Confirm your unit conversion from cubic inches to cubic feet (remember 12 inches in a foot, so 12³ cubic inches in a cubic foot). • After calculating total measured volume, re-check how you apply the 10% broken stowage—it should change the final cubic capacity, not the carton dimensions.
