​ start fraction, 1, divided by, 3, end fraction unit.
How many

Answer 1

135

Explanation:

If the volume is 5 cubic units, then the prism will have 135 1/3 sized cubes.

Each cube inside the prism can be split into 27 smaller cubes with side lengths 1/3 by 1/3 by 1/3.

This means the original 5 cubes becomes 5*27 = 135.
