Question

Volume with cubes with fraction lengths​

Answer 1

Answer:

$\large\boxed{24\ cubes}$

Step-by-step explanation:

$\bold{METHOD\ 1}\\\\\text{Calculate the volume of a prism:}\\\\V_{p}=(1)(2)\left(\dfrac{3}{2}\right)=3\ cm^3\\\\\text{Calculate the volume of a cube:}\\\\V_c=\left(\dfrac{1}{2}\right)^3=\dfrac{1}{8}\ cm^3\\\\\text{Calculate how many times the volume of the prism is greater}\\\text{than the volume of the cube:}\\\\\dfrac{V_p}{V_c}=\dfrac{3}{\frac{1}{8}}=3\cdot8=24$

$\bold{METHOD\ 2}\\\\1cm:\dfrac{1}{2}m=1\cdot2=2\\\\2cm:\dfrac{1}{2}cm=2\cdot2=4\\\\\dfrac{3}{2}cm:\dfrac{1}{2}cm=\dfrac{3}{2}\cdot\dfrac{2}{1}=3\\\\2\cdot4\cdot3=24\ (cubes)$
