V of rectangular prism = l * w * h = 12 * 2 * 312 = 7,488 in³
V of one cube with side lengths 12 = l * w * h = 12 * 12 * 12 = 1,728 in³
Divide the volume of rectangular prism by the volume of the cube.
7488 / 1728 = 13 / 3 or 4.3. . .
5 big cubes 4 longs and 2 small cubes

HOPE THIS HELPS!!!
Hello!
We don't need to find the exact perimeter of the fencing, just an estimate.
We will round 12 ft 3 in to 12 ft, because it is closer to 12 ft than 13 ft.
We will also round 8 ft 11 in to 9 ft because there are 12 inches in a foot, which makes 9 ft closer.
The formula for perimeter of a rectangle is:
P = 2l × 2w
The length is about 12 feet and the width is about 9 feet.
Substitute the length and width:
P = 2(12) + 2(9)
Solve:
P = 24 + 18
P = 42
Jose will need about 42 feet of fencing.
