If you have a tape measure, measure the length, width and height of the box. Round each of the numbers DOWN to the nearest whole number of centimetres and then multiply together.

The answer, in cm3 is the number of unit cubes that will fit.

For example,

length = 5.9 cm

width = 4.9 cm

height = 3.9 cm

usable volume = 5*4*3 = 60 cm3 and spo 60 cubes.

Even though the true volume of the box is 5.9*4.9*3.9 = 112.749 cm3 you will get only 3 cubes along the height of the box. 0.9 cm of the height (more than a quarter) is wasted.

Even worse, if you have a box that is 1 kilometre long and 1 kilometre wide but only 0.9 cm high, you will not get a single - NOT EVEN ONE - cube in it. The cube would be too high. Although the true volume is 9 billion cm3, the usable volume is 100,000*100,000*0 = 0.
