Answer:

It will take 24 cubes to fill the rectangular prism.

Explanation:

Find the volume of a cube with side lengths of 1/2 cm:

1/2^3 = 1/8

1/8 cm^3

Find the volume of the whole rectangular prism (lwh):

1 x 3/2 x 2

= 3/2 x 2

= 3

3 cm^3

Divide the volume of the prism by the bolume of one cube:

3 ÷ 1/8 = 24

Therefore it will take 24 cubes to fill the prism. Hope this helps!
