How many cuboids of size 4 cm × 3 cm × 2 cm can be made from a cuboid of size 12 cm × 9 cm × 6 cm?

Measurement of bigger cuboid

Length = 12 cm Breadth = 9 cm and Height = 6 cm


Volume of cuboid = Length × Breadth × Height


= 12cm × 9cm × 6cm


Measurement of smaller cuboid


Length = 4 cm Breadth = 3 cm and Height = 2 cm


Volume of cuboid = Length × Breadth × Height


= 4cm × 3cm × 2cm


Number of smaller cuboids which can be made from bigger cuboid


=


=


= 3 × 3 × 3


= 27 cuboids
