Question

Which prism will hold more 1 in. x 1 in. x 1 in. cubes ?

Answer 1

`\text{The second prism will hold more 1x1x1 cubes since it has a greater volume.}`

Step by step explanation:

To determine which prism will hold more prism 1x1x1, that means we have to calculate the volume of the prisms. And the one that has a greater volume is the one that will hold more.

The volume for this prism is represented by the following expression:

Therefore, for the first prism:

`\begin{gathered} V=10\cdot4\cdot6 \\ V=240\text{ cubic inches} \end{gathered}`

For the second one:

`\begin{gathered} V=8\cdot5\cdot12 \\ V=480\text{ cubic inches} \end{gathered}`
