Answer:

140 in³

Explanation:

The ratio of volumes of similar objects is proportional to the cube of the ratio of the linear dimensions.

__

Here, prism B is half the height of prism A, so will have (1/2)³ = 1/8 of the volume of prism A:

Vb = (1/8)×Va

Vb = (1/8)×(1120 in³) = 140 in³

The volume of Prism B is 140 cubic inches.
