Step-by-step explanation:
volume of rect. prism = 10 units^3
volume of each cube =1/2*1/2*1/2
= 1/8 units^3
required cubes = 10/1/8 = 80
3-4=-1. To use mental math, imagine that there is a number line in your head. Start at three, and since we're subtracting, move to the left 4 units. This will land you at -1. I hope this gets easier for you in the future!
