No. of the sugar cubes fit in the box = Volume of the box/ vol. of the cube

=600/1 =600

Answer 2

Number of sugar cubes fit in box = 600 sugar cube

Explanation:

Given:

Size of sugar cube = 1 x 1 x 1 cm

Size of box.

Length = 5 cm

Width = 12 cm

Height = 10

Find:

Number of sugar cubes fit in box

Computation:

Volume of sugar cube = 1 x 1 x 1

Volume of sugar cube = 1 cm³

Volume of box = 5 x 10 x 12

Volume of box = 600 cm³

Number of sugar cubes fit in box = Volume of box / Volume of sugar cube

Number of sugar cubes fit in box = 600 / 1

Number of sugar cubes fit in box = 600 sugar cube
