I really need one too. Thanks for the question.
The statement "unit cubes with side lengths of 1/2 foot are added to fill the prism with no space remaining" is useless information so you can disregard that. All you need to know to calculate the volume is the length, width, and height.
Volume = length x width x height
Volume = (5/2) x 3 x 11/2
Volume = 15/2 x 11/2
Volume = 165/4
Volume = 41.25 ft cubed
So, 350 out of 1750
350/1750=
.1828/1
percent is parts out of 100 so x%=x/100
make bottom number 100
0.1828/1 times 100/100 =18.28/100=18.28%
about 18% saved
USE CYMATH TO FIGURE THAT OUT
