How many 2" cubes will fit in 10"? That's one row in the bottom of the box. Now, how many 2" cubes will fit in 8"? That's the number of rows that make one layer in the bottom of the box. Multiply those two numbers to get the number of cubes that fit in one layer in the bottom. Next, how many 2" layers will fit into 6"? Multiply that number by the number of cubes in one layer and you will have your answer.
