Question

Colin is to build a large Cube using smaller cubes. How many cubes one foot on a side will Calin need to make a cube one yard on a side?

a. 21 cubes
b. 25 cubes.
c. 27 cubes
d. 30 cubes​

Answer 1

If Colin uses 10 cubes for one foot then use 30 for three feet

3 feet= a yard

Answer 2

Since 3 feet = 1 yard, Colin needs 3 cubes on each edge. (See picture below.)

In that picture, you'll also see that there are 9 cubes on one layer and there are three layers.

9x3 = 27
