Answer: 128 cubes

Step-by-step explanation:The dimension of the rectangular prism is not given, assumed not important.

Find the volume of 1 cube:

Volume = 1/4 x 1/4 x 1/4

Volume = 1/64 units³

Find the number of cubes that can go into the prism:

Number of cubes = 2 ÷ 1/64

Number of cubes = 128
