This question is incomplete because there is a missing variable. You would need the width or length for me to complete this.

Answer:

The number of 2 in cubes that could fit in a 10 in box (assuming that is a cube) are 125,

Explanation:

Assuming that the box is a cube with 10 in heigh, then the volume of the cube correspond to:


V=10^(3)=1000 in^(3)

Now you should know the volume of the 2 in cube as follows:


V=2^(3)=8 in^(3)

If you want to know how many cubes with 2 in each side could fit inside the box of 10 in heigh, you should to divide the volume of the bigger cube over the smaller cube:


2inCubes=(1000ni^(3) )/(8in^(3) )= 125

The number of 2 in cubes that could fit in a 10 in box (assuming that is a cube) are 125.
