Question

Vijay has a collection of 50 number cubes that are each 1 cubic inch. He finds a box that is 4 inches high.He fits 12 cubes into the bottom of the box.Can vajay fit all his number cubes into the box

Answer 1

No, Vijay cannot fit all cubes into the box.

Solution:

Total number of cubes = 50

Volume of each cube = 1 cubic inch

Number of cubes fit in the bottom of the box = 12

Area of the box = l × b = 12 square inch

Height of the box = 4 inch

Volume of the box = l × b × h

                               = 12 × 4

Volume of the box = 48 cubic inch

So, 48 cubes can only fit in the box.

Hence, Vijay cannot fit 50 cubes into the box.
