Question

How many cubes of 10 cm edge can be put in a cubical box of 1 m edge?

Answer 1

We have,

Edge of the cube, a = 10 cm and 

Now,

The number of cubes that can be put in the box `= ("Volume of the cubical box")/"Volume of the cube"`

`="l"^3/"a"^3`

`=100^3/10^3`

= 10³ 

= 1000

so the number of cubes that can be put in the cubical box is 1000.
