Answer:

1/9; C

Explanation:

V=s*s*s

Side Length: 1/3

V=1/3*1/3*1/3

V=1/27

1/27*3= 3/27

3/27 simplified eqauls 1/9

Answer:

3. 1/9 feet^3

Explanation:

First, find the volume of one cube.

The volume of a cube can be found using the following formula:

V=s^3

We know that s, the side length is 1/3 feet. Therefore, we can substitute 1/3 ft in for s.

V= (1/3 ft)^3

Evaluate the exponent.

1/3 ft^3

=1/3 ft * 1/3 ft* 1/3 ft

=1/9 ft^2*1/3 ft

= 1/27 ft^3

V= 1/27 ft^3

Now find the volume of 3 cubes. We know the volume of one cube is 1/27 ft^3, therefore we can multiply 1/27 ft^3 by 3.

1/27 ft^3 * 3

Multiply 1/27 and 3.

1/27 * 3/1

=(1*3)/(27*1)

=3/27

=1/9

V= 1/9 ft^3

The volume of 3 cubes is 1/9 cubic feet, and choice 3 is correct.
