length = 24 cm ----> 24/3 = 8 cubes can be cut out
\n" ); document.write( "width = 9 cm ---> 9/3 = 3 cubes can be cut out
\n" ); document.write( "height = 7 cm ---> 7/3 = 2 cubes can be cut out (round down)\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "number of cubes: 8 * 3 * 2 = 48\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "volume of wood left over = 24 * 9 * 1 = 216 cm^3
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
