Answer:

(1)/(8) cubic feet

Explanation:

The edge length of cubic block is 1/5th of 2 and 1/2. Let's do this:

$(1)/(5)*2(1)/(2)\\=(1)/(5)*(5)/(2)\\=(1)/(2)$

So the edge length of cubic block = 1/2 feet.

The volume of cube is given by V = x^3, where x is the edge length. We know edge length is 1/2, so we have:

$V=x^3\\V=((1)/(2))^3\\V=(1)/(8)$
