Use two ways to get the number of small cubes to put these cubes in the cuboid.

The video tutorial explains how to calculate the number of small cubes that can fit into a cuboid by determining the volume of both the cuboid and the small cube. It provides two examples: one where the cuboid's dimensions are divisible by the cube's dimensions, allowing for straightforward calculation, and another where they are not, requiring a different approach. The tutorial emphasizes understanding divisibility to accurately determine the number of cubes that can fit inside a cuboid.

What is the first step in solving the problem of fitting small cubes into a cuboid?

• Calculate the surface area of the cuboid

• Get the volume of the small cube

• Find the perimeter of the cuboid

• Measure the diagonal of the cuboid

How many small cubes can fit into the first cuboid with dimensions 8, 14, and 16 cm?

• 180 pieces

• 140 pieces

• 165 pieces

• 224 pieces

Why can't 165 small cubes fit perfectly into the second cuboid?

• The cuboid is too small

• The cuboid is not a perfect rectangle

• The dimensions are not divisible by the cube's side length

• The cubes are too large

What is the correct number of small cubes that can fit into the second cuboid after adjusting for non-divisible dimensions?

• 165 pieces

• 140 pieces

• 130 pieces

• 150 pieces

What should you do if the dimensions of a cuboid are not divisible by the cube's side length?

• Increase the size of the cuboid

• Divide each dimension by the cube's side length and multiply the results

• Use a different size of cube

• Ignore the remainder and use the original calculation
