Question

How many cubical blocks of side 6 cm can be cut from a cubical box of thermocol of side 12 dm.

Answer 1

12dm=1200cm
volume = 6×6×6
=216cm cube
volume =1200×1200×1200
1728000000cm cube

therefore no of boxes =1728000000÷216
=8000000

Answer 2

Dear Student,

◆ Answer -

No of blocks = 8000 dm^3

● Explanation -

Volume of cubical box of thermocol is -

Volume of box = 12^3

Volume of box = 1728 dm^3

Volume of cubical blocks is -

Volume of block = 0.6^3

Volume of block = 0.216 dm^3

No of cubical blocks is -

No of blocks = volume of box / volume of block

No of blocks = 1728 / 0.216

No of blocks = 8000 dm^3

Hence, 8000 blocks are cut from thermocol box.

Thanks dear. Hope this helps you...
