compare the divisor x-3 with x-a which will give a=3 and then use remainder theorem.
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
The
first choice gives you the same result. The factor of 5 can be removed to the outside of the summation symbol.
You can write this as a ratio to find the answer, but you first need to convert the gallon of white paint into ounces, which is 160 ounces. The ratio, red to blue to white, is 4:28:160, which you can simplify by dividing by 4 into 1:7:40. If 80 ounces of red tint are used, you need to multiply each value in the ratio by 80, which gives you 80:560:3200. This shows that you need 560 ounces of blue tint, which can also be written as 3.5 gallons. I hope this helps!
