Answer:

120

Explanation:

The dimension across the front in terms of cubes is ...

5/3 cm = 5×(1/3 cm) = 5 cubes

The front-to-back dimension in terms of cubes is ...

4/3 cm = 4×(1/3 cm) = 4 cubes

The height in terms of cubes is ...

2 cm = 6×(1/3 cm) = 6 cubes

Then the volume in terms of cubes is ...

V = LWH = 5×4×6 = 120 cubes

It will take 120 cubes to fill the prism.
