Complete question :

Lucy has block letters that are in the shape of cubes with sides 2 3 foot long. She has a box which is 1 1 3 foot long, 2 3 foot wide, and 2 3 foot tall. Find the number of block letters that will fit in the box.

Answer:

1/2

Step-by-step explanation:

Number of block letters that will fit in :

Volume of box ÷ volume of each letter cube

Volume of each letter cube = (side length)³ = (2/3)³ = 8/27 ft³

Volume of box = length * width * height

Volume of box = 1 1/3 * 2/3 * 2/3

Volume of box = 4/3 * 2/3 * 2/3 = 16 / 27 ft³

Therefore ;

8/27 ÷ 16/27

8/27 * 27/16

= 8/16

= 1/2
