The number of cubes with edge length ⅕ inch that will fit in the prism is: 1,920 cubes
<h3>Volume of a Rectangular Prism</h3>
Volume of a rectangular prism = length × width × height
<h3>Volume of a Cube</h3>
A cube has equal edge length. Therefore, the volume of a cube = a³, where a is the edge length.
Given the following,
Dimensions of Priya's Rectangular Prism:
2⅖ = 2.4 inches
3⅕ = 3.2 inches
2 inches
Volume of the Rectangular Prism = 2.4 × 3.2 × 2 = 15.36 in.³
Dimension of the cubes:
edge length = ⅕ inch
Volume of the cube = (⅕)³ = 0.008 in.³
The number of ⅕ inch edge cube that will fit in the prism = Volume of Prism / Volume of Cube
= 15.36/0.008 = <em>1,920 cubes </em>
