Question

Each side of a cubical chalk box is 8 cm. How
many chalk sticks can it hold if each stick needs
16 cm' space?​

Answer 1

answer

capicity of cube = length cube

8X8X8=512

total chalk =512/16=32

32chalk

Answer 2

Given,

The length of each side of a cubical chalk box = 8 cm

Total space/volume required by each chalk stick = 16 cm^3

To find,

Number of chalk sticks that can be kept inside the box.

Solution,

We can simply solve this mathematical problem using the following process:

As per mensuration;

Volume of a cube

= (length of each side)^3

{Statement-1}

So, total space occupied/volume of the chalk box

= (length of each side)^3

{according to statement-1}

= (8 cm)^3

= 512 cm^3

So, the total number of chalk sticks that can be kept inside the box

= (total space occupied/volume of the chalk box)/(space/volume required by each chalk stick)

= (512 cm^3)/(16 cm^3)

= 32 chalk sticks

Hence, 32 chalk sticks can be kept inside the cubical chalk box.
