36^3 = 46656 is the volume of the cube
\n" ); document.write( "1/2 filled with water:
\n" ); document.write( "1/2*46656 = 23328
\n" ); document.write( "add a block 5184:
\n" ); document.write( "23328+5184 = 28512
\n" ); document.write( "What is 28512 of 46656?
\n" ); document.write( "28512/46656 = 0.6111...
\n" ); document.write( "When you add the metal block the cube will be 61.11% full and:
\n" ); document.write( "36*.6111 = 22 cm high, the cube will be filled to the 22 cm mark
