Question

If you had a rubik's cube with 10 little squares on each side, and peeled off the outer layer, how many little cubes would you end up with?

Answer 1

There is 6 sides in a cube, multiplying we get the number of squares:
6*10 = 60 little squares. 
Peeling off one layer means subtracting 10 squares from the above numbers like this:
60 - 10 = 50. 

Answer: we end up with 50 littles squares. 

Answer 2

Answer:

512 cubes.

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that the volume of a cube is

$V=s^{3}$

Where $V$ is volume and $s$ is side.

If we have 10 little squares on each side, the volume is

$V=10^{3}=1000$$u^{3}$

If we peeled of the outer layer, that means 10-2=8, so the total number of cubes reaming is represented by the reduced volume

$V=8^{3}u^{3}=512$

Therefore, we would end up with 512 cubes.
