To divide fractions, you need to multiply by the reciprocal. The reciprocal of 3/4 is 4/3, which is why the work is incorrect.

Answer:
10 units
Step-by-step explanation:
Let us find the volume of Haley's prism and compare it with the volume of Jeremiah's.
The volume of Haley's prism is:
V = 5 * 3 * 4 = 60 cubic units
Jeremiah's prism has twice the volume of Haley's:
V(J) = 2 * 60 = 120 cubic units
This implies that:
120 = 4 * 3 * h
where h = height of prism
=> 120 = 12h
=> h = 120 / 12 = 10 units
Jeremiah's prism is 10 units tall.
