The volume of the box is measured in cubic centimeters.
The number of sugar cubes that will fit in the box is 24.
The volume of the box is measured in cubic centimeters, so the correct answer is (b) cubic centimeters.
To find the volume of the box, you need to multiply its length, width, and height. In this case, the dimensions of the box are given as 2cm by 4cm by 3cm. So, you can calculate the volume as:
Volume = Length x Width x Height
Volume = 2cm x 4cm x 3cm
Volume = 24 cubic centimeters
Therefore, the volume of the box is 24 cubic centimeters.
Since each sugar cube has a volume of 1 cubic centimeter, the number of sugar cubes that will fit in the box is equal to the volume of the box. So, the correct answer is (f) 24.
Hence, there will be 24 sugar cubes that will fit in the box.
The volume of the box is measured in _____.
