Solution

Step 1: Given information.

Edge of a solid cube (a)=44cm

The diameter of each bullet (d)=4cm

Step 2: Calculate the number of bullets.

Let us consider that n number of bullets is made from the solid cube and the radius of each spherical bullet be rcm.

The radius of each bullet, r=42=2cm

So, the volume of the solid cube will be equal to the volume of n number of bullets.

Volumeofsolidcube=Volumeofnnumberofbulletsa3=n×43πr3(44)3=n×43×227×2385184=n×70421n=85184×21704n=121×21n=2541

Hence, 2541bullets can be made out of the solid cube.
