Question

Lin’s teacher uses a box to store her set of cubes with an edge length of 1/2 inch if the box is completely full how many cubes are in the set?

Answer 1

Answer:
448 cubes
Step-by-step explanation:
Volume of cubes fitted in the box will be equal to the cumulative volume of the cubes.
Since, volume of a cube = (Side)³
Side of the cube = 1/2 inch
Therefore, volume of the cube = (1/2)3=1/8 inches
Volume of the storage box = 56 cubic inches
Since, number of cubes fitted in the storage box
= 56/1/8
= 56 × 8
= 448 cubes
Therefore, number of cubes fitted in the storage box = 448
