Question

The dimensions of a rectangular prism are length is 2 1/4 feet width is 1 foot and height is 1 1/4 feet and the length of the sides of a small cube are 1/4 foot each. How many small cubs can be packed in the rectangular prism.

Answer 1

180

Explanation:

2 1/4 ft = 9/4 ft, so is a length equivalent to 9 cubes.

1 ft = 4/4 ft, so is a length equivalent to 4 cubes.

1 1/4 ft = 5/4 ft, so is a length equivalent to 5 cubes.

Then the volume of the prism is ...

V = LWH

V = (9)(4)(5) = 180 . . . cubes
