Answer:

36 cubes

Explanation:

A rectangula prism with a volume of 4 cubic units is filled with cubes with side lenghts of 1/3 units.

Volume of cubes = (side length)³

Volume = (1/3)³

= 1/9 cubic units

Therefore, the number of 1/3 unit cubes it takes to fill the prism is calculated as:

= 4 cubic units ÷ 1/9 cubic units

= 4 × 9/1

= 36 cubes
