    Answer: Stephan's cuboid has 90 cubes more than that of Amina

    Step-by-step explanation: As stated in the question, Amina's cuboid has dimensions given as 4 cm by 6 cm by 3 cm. That means Amina's cuboid has a total volume of

    Volume = L x W x H

    Volume = 4 x 6 x 3

    Volume = 72 cm³

    A cube by standard has the length, width and height all measuring the same. This means, the in a cuboid with a volume of 72 cubic centimetres, you can find a cube with each side measuring 2 centimetres as follows;

    Volume of cube = 2 x 2 x 2

    Volume of cube = 8 cm³

    Therefore,

    Number of cubes = Volume of cuboid / Volume of cube

    Number of cubes = 72/8

    Number of cubes = 9

    However, Stephan's cuboid now has each side measuring 5 centimetres more than each side of Amina's cuboid, hence Stephan's cuboid has the following dimensions,

    L = 9 (4 + 5)

    W = 11 (6 + 5)

    H = 8 (3 + 5)

    The volume of Stephan's cuboid therefore is derived as,

    Volume = L x W x H

    Volume = 9 x 11 x 8

    Volume = 792 cm³

    The number of cubes (with each side measuring 2 cm) in Stephan's cuboid is now derived as;

    Number of cubes = Volume of cuboid / Volume of cube

    Number of cubes = 792/8

    Number of cubes = 99

    From the results derived above, Stephan's cuboid has 99 cubes while Amina's cuboid has 9 cubes. The difference between both is 90 cubes.
