What is the maximum number of 27 cubic centimeter cubes that can fit in a rectangular box measuring 8-centimeter x 9-centimeter x 12-centimeter?
A. 36
B. 32
C. 24
D. 21
E. 15
The OA is C.
I tried the following,
(8*9*12) / (3*3*3) =
8/3 = 2 (Ignore decimal; SPACE utilized CANNOT be adjusted. That's wasted).
9/3 = 3
12/3 = 4
Then, 4*3*2 = 24.
Is there another strategic approach to solve this PS question? Can any experts help, please? Thanks.
