Yeah Whoa Okay I say team Asham uppers Got another
- 00:05
box here Six by ten by four Kyle has blocked
- 00:09
cubes that each have side lengths of two inches How
- 00:12
many of these will fit into the box above fun
- 00:17
Fact The volume of the cube is its side length

to the third power or cubed Yeah that's why I
- 00:24
got this fancy name Mathematicians are oh so good at
- 00:26
labeling things Apparently while Kyle needs find a volume of
- 00:29
the box Because volume measures how much three dimensional space
- 00:33
there is inside And that space is going to be
- 00:35
filled with bunch cubes Right So the total cubic inches
- 00:38
is four times ten times six at two hundred forty
- 00:41
cubic inches We gotta find the volume of each of
- 00:43
the cubes to see how much space they take up
- 00:46
while sitting in the box All right well let's see
- 00:48
uh one of Cuba's two inches And so we're going
- 00:51
to take eight cubic inches per cube Right So lastly
- 00:55
we got to see how many of these fun little
- 00:57
cubes can neatly fit inside the box Or rather how
- 01:01
the space in the box can be divided up for
- 01:04
the cubes there right So if it's two hundred forty
- 01:06
cubic inches total and assuming the cubes fit in there
- 01:09
neatly with no air space we can divide them by
- 01:12
the eight cubic inches they are each And while the
- 01:15
answer is just two forty divided by age which is 00:01:17.56 --> [endTime] thirty cubes and that's it
