Answer:
<em>128</em>
Step-by-step explanation:
<em>Method A.</em>
The volume of the prism is 2 cubic units.
Each cube has side length of 1/4 unit.
The volume of each cube is (1/4)^3 cubic unit.
The volume of each cube is 1/64 cubic unit.
To find the number of cubes that fit in the prism, we divide the volume of the prism by the volume of one cube.
(2 cubic units)/(1/64 cubic units) =
= 2/(1/64)
= 2 * 64
= 128
<em>Method B.</em>
Imagine that the prism has side lengths 1 unit, 1 unit, and 2 units (which does result in a 2 cubic unit volume.) Since each cube has side length 1/4 unit, then you can fit 4 cubes by 4 cubes by 8 cubes in the prism. Then the number of cubes is: 4 * 4 * 8 = 128
