Algebra.Com's Answer #576622 by macston(5194)![]() ![]() You can put this solution on YOUR website! cube root of 135 cu meters=5.13 meters=length of edge of cube \n" ); document.write( "5.13 m(100cm/m)=513 cm per edge \n" ); document.write( "513 cm/30 cm=17 whole cubes 0f 30 cm on each edge so \n" ); document.write( "17*17*17= 4913 ANSWER 4913 30 cm cubes can be cut from a cube with volume=135 cu meters. \n" ); document.write( "However, if the large cube were filled with a liquid and poured into 30 cm cubes \n" ); document.write( "30 cm=0.30 m \n" ); document.write( "Volume of small cube=.30*.30*.30=0.027 cu meters each \n" ); document.write( "135 cu meters would fill (135/.027)=5000 \n" ); document.write( "So while there is sufficient volume for 5000 cubes, due to spatial arrangement only 4913 cubes could be cut from a cube with a volume 135 cu meters. \n" ); document.write( " |
