Question

The number of 6 cm cubes can be cut from a cuboid measuring 36 m \(\times\) 15 m \(\times\) 8 m is

• A. 25
• B. 10
• C. 15
• D. 20

Hint:

When cutting cubes from a cuboid, divide the volume of the cuboid by the volume of the cube to find the number of cubes.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is B

The volume of the cuboid is: \[ 36 \, \text{m} \times 15 \, \text{m} \times 8 \, \text{m} = 4320 \, \text{m}^3 \] The volume of each cube is: \[ 6 \, \text{cm} \times 6 \, \text{cm} \times 6 \, \text{cm} = 216 \, \text{cm}^3 = 0.216 \, \text{m}^3 \] The number of cubes is: \[ \frac{4320}{0.216} = 20000 \] Thus, the correct answer is \(10\).
