A large wooden block of size 60 cm × 40 cm × 20 cm is cut into smaller cuboidal blocks of size 10 cm × 10 cm × 10 cm. How many small blocks are obtained?
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: B
Explanation
Given:
Size of the larger block = 60 cm × 40 cm × 20 cm
Size of the smaller block = 10 cm × 10 cm × 10 cm
Formula:
Number of blocks = (Length/Shorter length) × (Width/Shorter width) × (Height/Shorter height)
60 / 10 = 6
40 / 10 = 4
20 / 10 = 2
Total blocks = 6 × 4 × 2 = 48
