a cube is 5x5x5. How many smaller cubes

in the larger cube.

So I just mult. to get 125?

incomplete questions.

What units are used in the 5by5by5 cube?
How small is the "smaller" cube
is is 1 mm by 1 mm by1 mm or what?

To find the number of smaller cubes in a larger cube, you need to calculate the volume of the larger cube and then divide it by the volume of each smaller cube.

In this case, the larger cube has dimensions of 5x5x5, which means the volume is calculated as:

5 x 5 x 5 = 125

So the larger cube has a volume of 125.

Since each smaller cube has the same dimensions as the larger cube (5x5x5), the volume of each smaller cube is also 125.

To find the number of smaller cubes in the larger cube, you divide the volume of the larger cube by the volume of each smaller cube:

125 / 125 = 1

Therefore, there is 1 smaller cube in the larger cube.
