16:64
5:x (Cross Multiply)
16x = 64*5
16x = 320 (Then Divide both sides by 16 to isolate x)
x= 20
9$ for three cans then 9/3= 3 $ per can
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.

Another way to figure this is to compute the prism volume in the given dimensions (cm³) and the cube volume in the same dimensions, then find the number of cube volumes in the prism volume.
Prism volume = l×w×h = (2 cm)(1 cm)(3/2 cm) = 3 cm³
Cube volume = (1/2 cm)³ = 1/8 cm³
Then the number of cubes that will fit in the prism is ...
(3 cm³)/(1/8 cm³) = 3×8 = 24 . . . . cubes
