how many 8 cu.cm sugar cubes can sandy put in a 4cm by 8cm by 8cm box?
If the sugar cubes each holds 8 cm^3
then each side is 2 cm
The cubes will fit in all directions so we can place 4x4x2 of them or 32 sugar cubes
or
Since fitting them evenly along each dimension is no problem
volume of box = 8x8x4 or 256 c^3
number of cubes = 256/8 = 32 cubes
To find out how many 8 cubic centimeter sugar cubes can fit in a 4 cm by 8 cm by 8 cm box, we need to calculate the volume of the box and divide it by the volume of a single sugar cube.
The volume of the box is given by the formula: length × width × height.
So, the volume of the box = 4 cm × 8 cm × 8 cm = 256 cubic centimeters.
Now, we need to divide the volume of the box by the volume of a single sugar cube, which is 8 cubic centimeters.
256 cubic centimeters ÷ 8 cubic centimeters = 32 sugar cubes.
Therefore, Sandy can put 32 sugar cubes in the 4 cm by 8 cm by 8 cm box.
