Someone is placing some wooden cubes with dimensions 1cm x 2.5 cm x 3.6 cm into a rectangular container. The dimensions of the container are 30cm x 30cm x 30cm. Find the maximum number of wooden cubes that can be placed in the container. 1 TRY ONLY.
Strike once and you're out. Think carefully.
so first try calcule the volum of container and after this the volume of one wooden cube and will see it how many wooden cube will can placed inside container
try :)
most likely your first answer will be wrong
so i see it that this container wann being the form of square because has dimensions of 30x30x30 so than hasa volum of 30x30x30=27000 cube cm cm^3 yes ?
yep.
so but this wooden cube not can being cube because a cube has the same ,equales dimensions so the lenght and width and height need being equal so if not are equales than this not can being cube ok ?
just saying that it's a cube. you can call it a ball if you like.
ok
so than the volum of a wooden cube will be 1x2,5x3,6=9 cm^3
yes
so than now you can calcule easy how many wooden cubes will can replaced inside this container yes ?
do you have the right answer ?
yes
so how many will be ? calcule it please
less than 3000
yes sure less than 3000 because how you see it right the container has a height of 30 cm and the wooden cube has a height of 3,6 cm so if you calcule the height of container of 30 cm not can divide exactly by 3,6 cm so this is why the sum of wooden cube will be less than 3000 ok ?
i know.
cubes lol " dimensions 1cm x 2.5 cm x 3.6 cm"
balls. (from above)
I like how your cubes aren't cubes and your rectangular container isn't rectangular. good question.
LOL philosophical deep questions. Are squares round? NEW FIND FROM NASA! 1neq 1!
