Question

How many cubes with side lengths of 1/2 cm does it take to fill the prism.

Answer 1

Answer:

24 cubes

Step-by-step explanation:

You can figure this a couple of ways.

I usually find it easiest to figure in terms of the number of cubes each dimension represents. The vertical dimension (3/2 cm) is the length of 3 cubes; the front-back dimension (2 cm) is the length of 4 cubes, and the width (1 cm) is the length of 2 cubes.

The total number of cubes required is the product of the dimensions in cube-lengths: 3×4×2 = 24 cubes.
