          A wooden block of side of 4cm was cut into 8 smaller cubes of side of 2cm. If 1 litre of paint is required to paint the uncut wooden block, how many litres of paint is needed to paint the 8 smaller cubes?

            area of uncut cube is 4*4*6=96cm2
            area of eight cubes is 2*2*6*8=192cm2
            192/96=2
            96cm2 -------- 1liter
            192cm2 needed 2 liters.

                  as the wooden block is a cube it has 6 faces.that is why we have to multiply the area of one face times 6.
