Question

How many small cuboids of dimension 2m*3m*4m can be accommodated in a cube side of 22m?

Answer 1

Area of each cuboid = 24m
Since area of one cuboid is greater than the area of the cube. Thus 0 cuboids can be accommodated

Answer 2

a cube with sides 22m will have a volume of 22^3 = 10648m

Now, we calculate the total volume of each of the smaller cuboids which will be 2*3*4= 24

We now divide the bigger cube's volume by the smaller ones'

So, 10648/24 = 443.66667

If we round this it'll give 443 cuboids (we don't round up because we can't just create extra material)
