You can put this solution on YOUR website!
a) You cut the cube in half in 3 directions:
\n" ); document.write( "parallel to the bottom,
\n" ); document.write( "parallel to the front,
\n" ); document.write( "and parallel to the sides.
\n" ); document.write( "Each cut doubles the number of pieces,
\n" ); document.write( "until you have \"1%2A2%2A2%2A2=highlight%288%29\"
\n" ); document.write( "cubes with edges measuring \"20cm%2F2=10cm\" .
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "b) The \"8\" cubes have a total of \"8%2A6=48\" faces.
\n" ); document.write( "Each of the \"6\" painted faces of the original cube
\n" ); document.write( "was cut into \"4\" smaller faces of the smaller cubes,
\n" ); document.write( "for a total of \"6%2A4=24\" small cube painted faces.
\n" ); document.write( "If you want all the small cube faces to be painted,
\n" ); document.write( "you have to paint the remaining
\n" ); document.write( "\"48-24=highlight%2824%29\" faces.
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
