Question

There is a cubical room whose length is 5 m. How many students can it accommodate if each student requires 5 m³ of space.

Answer 1

Given: A cubical room with side (length) = 5 m; each student requires 5 m³ of space.

Step-wise calculation:

1. Volume of the cubical room

= (Side)³ 

= 5³

= 125 m³

2. Number of students

= `"Total volume"/"Space per student"` 

= 125 ÷ 5

= 25

The room can accommodate 25 students.
