Question

A cube of side one meter length is cut into small cubes of side 10 cm each. how many such small cubes can be obtained?

Answer 1

1 m = 100 cm
Therefore, 100/10 = 10 cubes


100 divided by 10 equal to 10 cubes is the answer.

Answer 2

Answer:

1000 smaller cubes of side 10 cm can be made from a big cube of size one meter.

Solution:

For the given big cubes,

Length of each side of the cube (A) = 1 m = 100 cm

Volume of the cube = $A^3 = (100 cm)^3 = 1000000 cm^3$

For the smaller cubes,

Length of each side of the cube (a) = 10 cm

Volume of each smaller cube = $a^3 = (10 cm)^3 = 1000 cm^3$

∴ No. of small cubes that can be obtained  

$\begin{array} { c } { = \frac { 1000000 \mathrm { cm } ^ { 3 } } { 1000 \mathrm { cm } ^ { 3 } } } \\\\ { = 1000 } \end{array}$

Thus, 1000 smaller cubes of side 10 cm can be made from a big cube of size one meter.
