Answer:

Let’s break this apart.

Box= 12cm x 8cm x 6cm

Cube= 2cm x 2cm x 2cm

How many cubes fit in the box?

calculate the volume of the box. To do this, multiply the length by the width by the height (L x W x H)

12 x 8 x 6 = 576cm cubed

2. Calculate the volume of the cube. Once again we multiply L x W x H

2 x 2 x 2 = 8cm cubed

3. Next we divide th volume of the box by the volume of the cube

576 / 8 = 72 cubes

Therefore, it would take 72 cubes to fill a box.
