Question

Wyatt's eraser box is shaped as a rectangular prism. His erasers are cubes with 1-centimeter sides. The
bottom of the box can hold 14 erasers, and the box is 6 centimeters tall. How many erasers can Wyatt fit
in his box?

Answer 1

Each eraser has the shape of a cube with a side length of 1 cm.

The eraser box is a rectangular prism (a rectangular box).

We know the bottom of the box can hold 14 erasers. If we lay 14 more erasers on top of it, we would have used 2 cm of the box's height.

We can do it a total of 6 times until we top up the box, thus the total number of erasers that fit the box is 6*14 = 84 erasers
