Answer:

560/9 cubes

Explanation:

How many 1/3 inch cubes does it take to fill a box

the dimension of the box is

width 2 2/3 inches,

length 3 1/3 inches, and

height 2 1/3 inches

The volume of the box is

volume= L*W*H

volume= 3 1/3 * 2 2/3* 2 1/3

converting to proper fraction

volume= 10/3*8/3*7/3

volume= 10*8*7/3*3*3

volume=560/27 in^3

the volume of the cube is 1/3

so the number of cubes will be

=560/27/1/3

=560/27*3

=560/9
