Question

A right rectangular prism has edges of 8 feet, 4 feet, and 1/2 foot. How many cubes with side lengths of 1/2 foot would be needed to fill the prism?

Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question we are told that

Edges of 8 feet, 4 feet, and 1/2 foot

Generally the volume V_p of the right rectangular prism is mathematically represented as

$V_p=8*4*0.5$

$V_p=16$

Generally volume of the cube V_c is mathematically given as

$V_c =(\frac{1}{2})^3$

$V_c =\frac{1}{6}$

Therefore total number of cubes is given as

$V=\frac{V_p}{V_c}$

$V=\frac{16}{\frac{1}{6}}$

$V=96$
