Number of 1/2-inch cubes length-wise = 8 1/2 ÷ 1/2 = 17
Number of 1/2-inch cubes width-wise = 5 1/2 ÷ 1/2 = 11
Number of 1/2-inch cubes height-wise = 2 1/2 ÷ 1/2 = 5
Number of 1/2-inch cubes = 17 x 11 x 5 = 935
------------------------------------------------------------
Answer: 935 1/2-inch cubes are needed.

Might help if you write the equation
Sorry, there is not any square root of -1.
Thank you♥♥
8/9 divided by 2/3 is 1 1/3
10 hours : 15 logs
x hours : 9 logs
15*x = 9*10 => x=9*10/15=6 hours
With n logs,
x=n*10/15=2n/3 hours where n is the number of logs.
