Solution

1000

Explanation:

Volume of cube = (Side)3

Volume of each small cube = 203 = 8000 cm3 = 0.008 m3

Now, volume of the cubical box = 23 = 8 m3

∴ Number of small cubes, that can just be accommodated in the cubical box

= `"Volume of cubical box"/"Volume of small cube"`

= `8/0.008`

= 1000
