I need to know the answer with steps plz

Answer 1

Answer:

a.) $40cm^3$

b.) 5 blocks

Explanation:

Let's find the volume of the metal block:

$V=lwh$

$V=(10cm)(2cm)(2cm)$

$V=40cm^3$

Now, let's find the volume of the smaller blocks:

$V=lwh$

$V=(2cm)(2cm)(2cm)$

$V=8cm^3$

So, one small block has a volume of 8cm. If the volume of the larger block is 40cm, we can fit a total of 5 smaller blocks into the larger block, meaning it will make up the same volume.

$\frac{40}{8} = 5$
