Cubed sugar in a 1 kg package is in a box with 20 cm, 12 cm, and 5 cm dimensions.

a) How many sugar cubes with dimensions 2.5 cm, 2.5 cm, and 1 cm fit in the box?
b) Calculate the mass of one cube.
c) How many square meters of cardboard are needed to make 1,000 boxes?

Correct answer:

a =  192
b =  5.2083 g
c =  80 m²

Step-by-step explanation:

$$\begin{gathered} x=20 \\ y=12 \\ z=5 \\ {V}_1=x\cdot y\cdot z=20\cdot 12\cdot 5=1200 \\ {V}_2=2.5\cdot 2.5\cdot 1=6.25 \\ a=V_1/V_2=1200/6.25=192 \end{gathered}$$

$b=1000/a=1000/192=5.2083\text{g}$

$$\begin{gathered} S_1=2\cdot (x\cdot y+y\cdot z+x\cdot z)=2\cdot (20\cdot 12+12\cdot 5+20\cdot 5)=800 \\ c=1000\cdot S_1/100^2=1000\cdot 800/100^2=80{\text{m}}^2 \end{gathered}$$
