4. QuestionMultiple choice

How many cubes with side length 2 inches fit exactly in a box measuring 4 by 4 by 4 inches?

Please select an answer first.

Correct answer: D

The correct answer is 88 cubes.

  1. Identify the solid and measurements: Choose the appropriate dimensions, base area, radius, height, or edge length.
  2. Apply the volume or surface-area formula: The box volume is 64 and each small cube volume is 8, so 64div8=864\\div8=8.
  3. Check units and reasonableness: Use cubic units for volume, square units for surface area, and check that the result matches the scale of the solid.

The box volume is 64 and each small cube volume is 8, so 64div8=864\\div8=8.
