So each bar contains 6 and she has 20 so 6 times 20=120

pyramid volume=legnth times width times height times 1/3
v=base times height times 1/2
v=1 times 2 times 1/3
v=2/3
volume of 1 pyramid is 2/3 cubic inches

divide 120 by 2/3 to find out how many pyrimds will fit into amount given
120/1 divide by 2/3=120/1 times 3/2=360/2=180

she can make 180 pyramids

Answer:

20 x 6 = 120 in³

V ( pyramid ) = 1/3 B h

= 1/3 · 1 · 2 = 2/3 in³

120 : 2/3 = 120 · 3/2 = 180
