Question

How many 3cm cubes can be put in a box 3cm long 6cm wide 12cm high?

Answer 1

Answer:

8

Step-by-step explanation:

A cube is equal on all sides. Therefore the cubes must be 3cm x 3cm x 3cm. Therefore, each cube has an area of 27cm^3. The box that the cube has an area in is 3cm x 6cm x 12 cm which = 216cm^3. If you do $216cm^3/27cm^3 = 8 cubes$

Answer 2

The number of cubes that fit on the 3 cm side times the number that fit on the 6 cm side times the number that fit in the 12 cm high side.
