How many cubes of edge 15 cm can be put in a cubical box of 3 m edge?
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: C
Explanation
The correct answer is Option 3 i.e. 8000.
Edge of the larger cube = 3 m = 300 cm
Edge of the smaller cube = 15 cm
The number of smaller cubes that fit along one edge of the larger cube
Edge of larger cube/Edge of smaller cube = 300/15 = 20
So,
Total number of cubes = 20 × 20 × 20 = 8000
