Question

*10. A company makes building bricks for children.

The bricks are all 5 cm cubes.
The bricks are going to be packed in boxes.
John designs a box for the bricks.
The box is a cuboid.
The size of the box is 25 cm by 15 cm by 12 cm.
Will the box be big enough for 36 bricks?
You must give reasons for your answer.

Answer 1

Cube volume = a^3

5 * 5 * 5 = 125

25 * 15 * 12 = 4,500

125 * 36 = 4,500.

The box will be big enough for 36 bricks.
