To find the number of ice cubes that can fill the box, we need to find the volume of the box and divide it by the volume of one ice cube.
The volume of the box is calculated by multiplying its dimensions:
Volume of the box = length x width x height = 40 cm x 20 cm x 30 cm = 24,000 cm³
The volume of one ice cube is calculated by raising one side to the power of 3:
Volume of one ice cube = 1 cm x 1 cm x 1 cm = 1 cm³
Now, we divide the volume of the box by the volume of one ice cube to find the number of ice cubes that can fill the box:
Number of ice cubes = Volume of the box / Volume of one ice cube = 24,000 cm³ / 1 cm³ = 24,000
Therefore, the correct answer is A. 24,000.
A picture shows a box 40 centimeters long; 20 centimeters wide; 30 centimeters high. A key shows that one ice cube is 1 centimeter on all sides.
