Question

2. Eli has 600 cubes that are 1 cubic inch. Select the smallest length a cube- shaped box can have while being able to hold the 600 cubes. A 7 in. B 8 in. C 9 in. D 10 in.

​

Answer 1

9 in

Explanation:

We need to find x in x^3 > 600

For x=8, 8^3 = 512 < 600 (Too Small)

For x=9, 9^3 = 729 > 600 (Just right)

For x=10, 10^3 = 1000 > 600 (Too big)

Therefore, the smallest length of the cube-shaped box is 9 in.
