Found 3 solutions by josgarithmetic, ikleyn, MathLover1:Answer by josgarithmetic(39617) (Show Source): You can put this solution on YOUR website! 1cm is 0.01 m
1 km is 1000 m
The volume of the box is 1*2*5 = 10 m^3 = cm^3 = cm^3.
So, there are small cubes 1x1x1 cm.
The height of this column will be
cm = m = m = km = kilometers = 100 kilometers. ANSWER
