336.
1 foot = 12 inches
Meaning box measures 12 inches x 14 inches x 16 inches
Hence answer
= 12/2 * 14/2* 16/2
= 6 * 7 * 8
= 336

Multiply the dimensions to arrive at cubed inches for the box
12*14*16 = 2688 cubic inches
Multiply the 2 inch cubes to arrive at cubic inches for the cube
2*2*2 = 8
Divide the box cubic inches by the cube cubic inches
2688/8 = 336.

12 x 14 x 16 = 2688 cu.in.
2 x 2 x 2 = 8 cu.in.
2688 ÷ 8 = 336 cubes of 8cu.ft each.

take the vol. of the rectangular box = (12)(14)(16) = 2688
then take the vol. of the 2" cube = (2)(2)(2) = 8
divide the vol of the rec. box with the vol. of 2" cube
2688/8 = 336

Is it which you do no longer understand the question, or is it which you do no longer understand the thank you to define the respond? because of the fact in case you do no longer understand the question, we would desire to debate the meaning of words. Like "development block", and "measures" and "inch" and "foot" and "wall". in case you do no longer understand the thank you to define the respond, then you definately might desire to do it like this: The blocks are 4 inches thick, and the wall is going to be 4 inches thick, so as that suits. The wall is going to be 3 feet severe, this is 36 inches. The blocks are 9 inches severe, so which you will might desire to stack 4 of them on perfect of 1 yet another. 9 inches x 4 = 36 inches. The wall is going to be 12 feet long, this is one hundred forty four inches. The blocks are 9 inches long, so which you'll want sixteen of them. 9 inches x sixteen = one hundred forty four inches. So the wall is a million block thick, 4 blocks severe, and sixteen blocks long. a million x 4 x sixteen = sixty 4 blocks.

Just take the voulme and divide by eight, That's the number of one inch cubes that are in a 2x2x2 in. cube:
12x14 x16 = 2688
2688/8 = 336

12*14*16/(2^3) = 12*14*2 = 336
