Question

The ice compartment in a refrigerator is 8 cm deep, 5 cm high and 4 cm wide. How many ice cubes will it hold, if each ice cube is 2 cm on its edge ?

• A. $20$
• B. $15$
• C. $10$
• D. none of the above

Answer 1

The correct option is A $20$

Given, dimensions of ice compartment in refrigerator $=8\times 5\times 4$

And that of ice cube $=2\times 2\times 2$

$\therefore$ number of ice cubes $=\frac{Volumeoftheicecompartment}{Volumeofoneicecube}$$=\frac{8cm\times 5cm\times 4cm}{2cm\times 2cm\times 2cm}=20$
