A cube with an edge length of 1 meter is divided into smaller cubes, each with an edge length of 10 centimeters. How many smaller cubes are formed?

Explanation

Since 1 meter equals 100 centimeters, the number of small cubes along one edge is 100 cm ÷ 10 cm = 10. Therefore, the total number of small cubes is 10 × 10 × 10 = 1000.
