Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

• Edge of small cube = 2 CM
• Dimensions of the rectangular container = 6 cm × 5 cm × 4 cm

• Number of cubes that are required

➵ Here we have to find how many cubes can be packed into the rectangular container.

➵ First we have to find the volume of the cube.

➵ Volume of a cube is given by,

    Volume of a cube = a³

    where a is a SIDE of the cube

➵ Substitute the data,

    Volume of the cube = 2³

    Volume of the cube = 8 cm³

➵ Hence volume of each of the cube is 2 cm³.

➵ Now finding the volume of the rectangular container which is in the shape of a cuboid,

➵ Volume of a cuboid is given by,

    Volume of a cuboid = l × b × h

    where l is the LENGTH

    b is the breadth

    h is the height

➵ Substitute the data,

    Volume of rectangular container = 6 × 5 × 4

    Volume of rectangular container = 120 cm³

➵ Hence volume of the container is 120 cm³.

➵ Now finding the number of cubes that can be packed into it,

➵ Number of cubes = Volume of container/Volume of cube

➵ Substituting the data,

    Number of cubes = 120/8

    Number of cubes = 15

➵ Hence 15 cubes can be packed inside the rectangular container.
