## Text Solution

What is Known?

Side of the cube and dimensions of the cuboid.

What is unknown?

Number of cubes that to be placed in the given cuboid.

Steps:

Volume of cuboid

\begin{align} & = l \times b \times h \\&= 60\,{\rm{cm}} \times 54\,{\rm{cm}} \times 30\,{\rm{cm}}\\ &= 97200\,{\rm{c}}{{\rm{m}}^2}\end{align}

Side of the cube $$6 \rm\,cm$$

Volume of the cube
\begin{align} &= (6)^3{\rm{c}}{\rm{m}}^3 = 216\,{\rm{cm}}\end{align}

Required number of cubes
\begin{align} &= \frac{{\text{volume of cuboid}}}{\text{volume of the cube}} \\ &= \frac {{97200}}{{216}}\\ &= 450\end{align}

Thus$$, 450$$ cubes can be placed in the given cuboid.
