Question 38584: The Emperor of Lilliput gives Gulliver a daily allowance of food and drink that is equivalent to the amount given to 1728 Lilliputians. If Gulliver's allowance of food and drink will fit in a cubical box that measures 24 "blots" along each edge, what is the edge length of the cubical box for one Lilliputian's daily allowance of food and drink?
Answer by rapaljer(4671) (Show Source): You can put this solution on YOUR website!
The size of Gulliver's food allotment is a cubical box that is 24 "blots" on each side. Therefore, = 13824 cubic blots.

13824 cubic blots = food for 1728 Lilliputians, so divide both sides of this "equation" by 1728 to get
8 cubic blots = food for 1 Lilliputian.

Therefore, the food for 1 Lilliputian would be a cube whose volume is 8 cubic blots. That is, a cube that is 2 "blots" on each side.

That's the final answer: the Lilliputian's cube is 2 "blots" on each side.
