10a is definitely false. When you multiply 6*4, and you get 24, that is an indication that it is wrong. 
10b is also false. One shoebox has a volume of 288 cubic inches. 20 should get you nearly 5000.
10c is true, since 288*27=2776, meaning that in order to hold a 27-288 cubic inch shoebox, you would need 2776 cubic inches of space in the crate.

Hope this helps!
