Answer:

The number of cubes = 11520 cubes

Explanation:

∵ The length = 12 , width = 5 and height = 4

∴ The volume = 12 × 5 × 4 = 240 in³

∵ The length of the cube = 1/4 in

∴ The volume of cube = (1/4)³ = 1/64 in³

∵ 1/4 of the prism is filled

∴ 3/4 doesn't fill

∴ The empty volume = 3/4 × 240 = 180 in³

∴ The number of cubes = 180 ÷ 1/64 = 11520 cubes
