You can put this solution on YOUR website! The edge of a sugar cube is about 1cm . Roughly how many sugar cubes could you put in a dry, empty swimming pool which measures 25m by 10m by 5m ?
----------------------------
The pool is 2500 by 1000 by 500 cm, so its volume is
2500*1000*500 cc
= 1,250,000,000 cc
Each cube is 1 cc, so that's the number of cubes that would fit.
1.25 billion, or 1.25E9
