If you would like to know the maximum number of toys that can be put into each box, you can calculate this using the following steps:

the area of a toy: 1/2 * 1/2 = 1/4 square inch

the area of a box: 9 1/2 * 7 1/2 = 19/2 * 15/2 = 285/4 = 71 1/4 square inches

71 1/4 / 1/4 = 285/4 / 1/4 = 285/4 * 4/1 = 285 toys

The company can put 285 toys in each box.
