Step-by-step solution

To solve the problem, we'll start by calculating the volume of the small cuboid.

Step 1: Volume of the small cuboid
The small cuboid dimensions are AB=5AB = 5, BC=4BC = 4, and BK=3BK = 3. Hence, its volume is:

V=5×4×3=60cm3 V = 5 \times 4 \times 3 = 60 \, \text{cm}^3

Step 2: Volume of the large cuboid
Since the small cuboid fits four times into the large cuboid, the volume of the large cuboid is:

4×60=240cm3 4 \times 60 = 240 \, \text{cm}^3

Step 3: Volume of the large cuboid minus the small cuboid
Subtracting the volume of the small cuboid from the large cuboid, we have:

24060=180cm3 240 - 60 = 180 \, \text{cm}^3

Thus, the volume of the large cuboid minus the small cuboid is 180cm3\boxed{180 \, \text{cm}^3}.
