This is an extra credit problem i have for math:
Suppose a wooden cube measures 8 units on a side. If you cut the cube into 8 identical smaller cubes, how long is a side of one of the smaller cubes?
FYI- The answer is not 1.
If you guys could help me, then it would be greatly appreciated. Thanks :]

The smaller cubes are all four units on a side.
Volume of large cube = 8 x 8 x 8 = 512
Area of small cube = 4 x 4 x 4 = 64
Eight small cubes has volume 8 x 64 = 512

In order to 8 smaller cubes you need to cut once along each axis.
