Answer: There are 8 cubic blocks that is needed to fill a cube.

Explanation:

Since we have given that

Length of cubic block is given by


(1)/(6)\ inch

Length of big cube is given by


(2)/(6)\ inch

As we know the formula for "Volume of cube":


Volume=Side^3

So, Number of cubic blocks to be filled in big cube is given by


\frac{\text{Volume of cube}}{\Volume of cubic block}}\\\\=((2)/(6)* (2)/(6)* (2)/(6))/((1)/(6)* (1)/(6)* (1)/(6))\\\\=8

Hence, there are 8 cubic blocks that is needed to fill a cube.
