Answer:

15 cubes

Explanation:

The volume of a rectangular prism is given as :

V = Lenght * width * height

V = 3/2 * 5/2 * 1/2

V = 15 / 8 cm³

Volume of a cube = a³

Where, a = side length of cube

a = 1/2 cm

V = a³ = (1/2)³ = (1/2 * 1/2 * 1/2) = 1/8

Volume of pyramid / volume of cube

15 / 8 ÷ 1 / 8

15 / 8 * 8 / 1

= 15
