Question

I need to know the answer with steps plz

Answer 1

a.)
`40cm^3`

b.) 5 blocks

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's find the volume of the metal block:

`V=lwh`

`V=(10cm)(2cm)(2cm)`

`V=40cm^3`

Now, let's find the volume of the smaller blocks:

`V=lwh`

`V=(2cm)(2cm)(2cm)`

`V=8cm^3`

So, one small block has a volume of 8cm. If the volume of the larger block is 40cm, we can fit a total of 5 smaller blocks into the larger block, meaning it will make up the same volume.

`(40)/(8) = 5`
