Question 1102434: A rectangular block of wood has dimension 24 cm by 9 CM by 7 cm. it is cut up into children's bricks. each brick is a cube of side 3 cm. find the largest number of bricks that can be cut from the block? find volume of the wood that is left

length = 24 cm ----> 24/3 = 8 cubes can be cut out
width = 9 cm ---> 9/3 = 3 cubes can be cut out
height = 7 cm ---> 7/3 = 2 cubes can be cut out (round down)

number of cubes: 8 * 3 * 2 = 48

volume of wood left over = 24 * 9 * 1 = 216 cm^3
