Answer: 8 cubes
Explanation:
Volume of a rectangular prism is length × height × width
Length=7 1/2
Width= 15 1/2
Height=12
Volume of the prism is therefore:
7 1/2×12×15 1/2= 1395cm3
No of cubes with edge length 1/2 to fit into the prism will be:
Volume of cube is L*W*H
1/2*1/2*1/2= 1/8cm3
Therefore the no of cubes to fit into the Prism will be:
1395/(1/8)= 11160 cubes.
If one was stuck,the number of 1/2 edge length
cube to fit into 1cm will be:
1/(1/8)= 8 cubes
