Answer:

4608 cubes

Explanation:

It is very important to note that:

1 cube in a Rectangular Prism has a side length of 1/4

The volume of 1 cube = (side length)³

= (1/4)³ cubic units

We are told in the above question that:

A rectangular prism has a volume of 72 cubic units.

The number of unit cubes that will fill the rectangular prism exactly is calculated as:

72 cubic units ÷ (1/4)³ cubic units

= 72 cubic units ÷ (1/64) cubic units

= (72 × 64 ) cubes

= 4608 cubes

Therefore, the number of unit cubes that will fill the rectangular prism exactly is 4608 cubes
