The ice compartment in a refrigerator is 36 cm deep, 16 cm high and 12 cm wide. How many ice cubes will it hold, if each cube is 4 cm as its edge?

Correct option is C

Given:

Dimensions of ice compartment: 36 cm (length) × 16 cm (height) × 12 cm (width)

Edge of each cube = 4 cm

Formula Used:

Volume of cuboid = l × b × h

Volume of cube = a³

Number of cubes = $$\frac{\text{Volume of compartment}}{\text{Volume of one cube}}$$​​

Solution:

Volume of compartment = $$36 \times 16 \times 12 = 6912 \, \text{cm}^3$$​​

Volume of one cube = $$4^3 = 64 \, \text{cm}^3$$​​

Number of cubes = $$\frac{6912}{64} = 108$$​​
