Question

A cuboid box has length 60 cm. breadth 18 cm and height 15 cm. How many cubical boxes having each side 6 cm will be contained in the box?
(1) 55 (2) 60 (3) 65 (4) 379​

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

ans. Therefore it will contain 75 cubical boxes

Answer 2

To find the number of cubes that can fit into the cuboid, we will first find the number of cubes that can be fit in length-wise, breadth-wise and height-wise. Multiplying these 3 numbers will give us the total number of cubes that can fit in.

Given:

Length of the cuboid = 60 cm

Breadth of the cuboid = 18 cm

Height of the cuboid = 15 cm

Length of the cubical box = 6 cm

Find the number of cubes that can go in length-wise:

Number of cubes = 60 ÷ 6

Number of cubes = 10

Find the number of cubes that can go in breadth-wise:

Number of cubes = 18 ÷ 6

Number of cubes = 3

Find the number of cubes that can go in height-wise:

Number of cubes = 15 ÷ 6

Number of cubes = 2

(since we aren't going to cut the cubes into smaller pieces to fit in, we will round down to the nearest whole number)

Find the total number of cubes that will fit in the cuboid box:

Number of cubes = 10 x 3 x 2

Number of cubes = 60

Answer: (2) 60
