A cube-shaped box has a volume of 64 cubic inches. If the box is packed full of cubes with edge lengths of 1 inch, how many cubes can fit along one side of the box?

Answer 1

Hello, Angelique.

So, if the cubes which are put inside of the box each have sides of 1 inch, then the volume of each cube is 1 cubic inch because the length and width and height of each cube is 1 so 1in x 1in x 1in = 1 cubic inch

( or 1 in³) . Since the box has a volume of 64 cubic inches, then exactly 64 cubes can fit in the box.

64 x 1in³ = 64 in³
