The number of cubes that would fill a container is called the volume of the container. Volume is a measurement of the amount of space an object occupies in three-dimensional space. It is typically measured in cubic units, such as cubic centimeters or cubic meters, depending on the size of the container.

There is no name for it. If you were looking for the answer "capacity" the question is very poorly worded.
This is not well-worded. The smaller the cubes the more you'd need to fill a container, and the more completely they'd fill it. One large cube would not fill a round container but there might not be room for more than one.
yes, they fit easily together. This is called tessellation.
You would be adding volumes together; whatever configuration you put them would be irrelevant then. Assuming these are all 1" cubes, you would have first a long row of 8 (1"x1"x8" total) or a cube made of cubes (2"x2"x2" total) and they both come to 8 cubic inches.
Assuming all faces need to be painted, the question can be written as "how many faces on 43 cubes." There are 6 faces on each cube. Thus the answer can be got from the multiplication 43x6. Doing this gives us 258, so the number of faces that would need to be painted is 258.
Eight half inch cubes would fill a one inch cube.
