Question

The ice compartment of a refrigerator is 8 inches long,4 inches wide and 5 inches high. How many ice cube will it hold if each cube is 2 inches on an edge?

Answer 1

Answer:

Ice compartment hold 20 ice cubes.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given Dimensions of ice compartment of refrigerator is 8 in. × 4 inc. × 5 in.

Length of edge of ice cube = 2 in.

We have to find no of ice cubes fits in ice compartment.

$No\:of\:ice\:cube=\frac{volume\:of\:ice\:compartment}{volume\:of\:ice\:cubes}$

Volume of ice compartment = length × width × height

                                               = 8 × 4 × 5

                                               = 160 inche³

Volume of ice cube = edge × edge × edge

                                 =  2 × 2 × 2

                                 = 8 inche³

$\implies No\:of\:ice\:cube=\frac{160}{8}=20$

Therefore, Ice compartment hold 20 ice cubes.
