Question

Jeremiah built a box that was 5 inches long by 6 inches wide by 7 inches high .he started filling it up with 1 cube.he realized quickly that he did not have nearly enough cubes to fill the box .can he still figure out how many cubes it will hold?

Answer 1

To determine the number of cubes he needs to fill the box (this is assuming the cubes are 1 in cubes, he would need to calculate the volume of the box. To find the volume he would multiply the length by the width by the height. This would be 5 in x 6 in x 7 in. The volume is 210 cubic inches, so he could fill it with 210 one inch cubes.
