Haha…I am a LITTLE afraid of that. :)

To get started on this question, first convert all those measures to meters. So 20 cm = 0.2 m, 5 cm = 0.05 m, and 10 cm = 0.1 m.

The volume of your box, in cubic meters, is (0.2 m)(0.05 m)(0.1 m) = 0.001 m^3.

How many of those do you need to have a cubic meter? 1/0.001 = 1000.
