Answer:

6 Cut Minimum

Step-by-step explanation:

According to the Question,

You have a 3x3x3 cube.

First make two cuts parallel to base of the cube each at a distance of 1 unit . This leaves you with three cuboids of dimensions 3x3x1.
Now make two parallel cuts parallel to the height of the cube. This leaves you with nine cuboids of dimensions 3x1x1.
Now make the final two cuts each 1 unit apart parallel to width and you are left with 27 cubes of 1x1x1.

So , the final answer is 6 cuts.
