Question

How many cuboids of size 4 cm × 3 cm × 2 cm can be made from a cuboid of size 12 cm x 9cm x 6cm?

Answer 1

Volume of a cuboid of measures 12 cm × 9 cm × 6 cm

V₁ = l₁× b₁ × h₁ = 12 × 9 × 6

Volume of the smaller cuboid of measures 4 cm × 3 cm × 2 cm

V₂ = l₂b₂h₂ = 4 × 3 × 2

∴ No. of cuboids are made

= V1/V2 = (12 × 9 × 6)/(4 × 3 × 2) = 27
