Complete question :

How many cubic blocks of side length of 17 inch would it take to fill a rectangular prism with a length width and height of 3/7 inch 1/7 inch and 3/7 inch

Answer:

9 cubic blocks

Explanation:

The volume of a rectangular prism is given as :

V = Length * width * height

V = 3/7 * 1/7 * 3/7 = 9 / 343 in³

The volume of block clube:

Take the cube of the side length :

(1/7)^3 = 1 / 343 in³

Number of cubic blocks required :

Volume of prism / volume of cube

9 / 343 ÷ 1 / 343

9 / 343 * 343 /1 = 9

Hence, 9 cubic cubes are needed to fill the rectangular prism
