I think a number is missing from the problem statement — it says the cube's side is "inch" with no value. Can you confirm the side length?

How to do it once you have that value:
- Convert supermarket dimensions to inches: 300 ft = 3600 in, 250 ft = 3000 in, 15 ft = 180 in.
- Supermarket volume = 3600 × 3000 × 180 = 1,944,000,000 in^3.
- If the cube side = s inches, cube volume = s^3 in^3, so number of cubes = 1,944,000,000 ÷ s^3.

Note: 15,552,000 equals 1,944,000,000 ÷ 125, so that answer corresponds to s = 5 inches. You said 15,552,000 is not the answer, so please tell me the correct cube side and I will compute the right number.
