Answer:

34 Cubes

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: Find the Volume of the Rectangular Prism

The dimensions of the rectangular prism are: 225 inches by 315 inches by 2 inches.

Volume of the Rectangular Prism = 225*315*2=141750 Cubic Inches

Step 2: Find the Volume of the Cube

Edge length of the cube, s=15 Inch

Volume of a Cube = $s^3$

Volume= $15^3$ =3375 Cubic Inches

Step 3: Determine how many cubes fit in the prism

To find out how many cubes fit in the rectangular prism, divide the volume of the rectangular prism by the volume of the cube.

Number of Cubes =Volume of the Rectangular Prism ÷ Volume of Cube

=141750 ÷ 3375

=34

34 Cubes will fit in the rectangular prism.
