Fill in the Blanks

Solution

A cube of side 5 cm is cut into 1 cm cubes. The percentage increase in volume after such cutting is none.

Explanation:

Given, a cube of side 5 cm is cut into 1 cm cubes.

The volume of big cube = 5 × 5 × 5 = 125 cm3

Now, the big cube is cut into 1 cm cubes.

∴ The number of small cubes = `125/"Volume of 1 small cube" = 125/1`

Thus, the volume of big cube = The volume of 125 cubes having an edge 1 cm

Hence, there is no change in the volume.
