Question

Maria needs to fill an empty storage container with wooden cubes measuring 2 centimeters across each face. The container is in the shape of a cube 10 centimeters wide.

How many wooden cubes does Maria need to fill the container?

Answer 1

It's 125, because you can fit 5 cubes across, 5 cubes from one side to the other side, and you can stack 5 cubes up


`5 x 5 x 5 =125`

Hope you get this right! Have a great day, and happy Valentines day!

Answer 2

Maria needs 125 wooden cubes to fill the container

Explanation:

Given : Dimension of wooden cube : 2 cm

Container which is cube shaped is 10 cm wide.

To Find: How many wooden cubes does Maria need to fill the container?

Solution:

Volume of cube
`x^(3)`

Where x is the side length.

So, volume of wooden cube =
`2^(3)`

=
`8`

Thus the volume of wooden cube is 8
`cm^3`

Volume of cube shaped container =
`10^(3)`

==
`1000 cm^3`

So, maria needs wooden cubes to fill the container :

=
`\frac{\text{Volume of container}}{\text{Volume of wooden cube}}`

=
`(1000)/(8)`

=
`125`

Hence Maria needs 125 wooden cubes to fill the container
