Answer:

20

Step-by-step explanation:

Volume of rectangular prism = length × width × height

Length = 8 inches

Width = 5 inches

Height = 2 inches

Volume of rectanglular prism = length × width × height

= 8 inches * 5 inches * 2 inches

= 80 inches ³

Dimensions of another rectangular prism:

Length = 16 inches

Width = 10 inches

Height = 10 inches

Volume of rectangular prism B = length × width × height

= 16 inches * 10 inches * 10 inches

= 1,600 inches ³

Number of prism A that fits into prism B = Volume of prism B ÷ volume of prism A

= 1,600 inches ³ ÷ 80 inches ³

= 20

Number of prism A that fits into prism B = 20
