Question

B. What is the volume of the prism in cm3? Show your reasoning. If you

Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Volume of a rectangular prism is length × height × width

Length=7 1/2

Width= 15 1/2

Height=12

Volume of the prism is therefore:

7 1/2×12×15 1/2= 1395cm3

No of cubes with edge length 1/2 to fit into the prism will be:

Volume of cube is L*W*H

1/2*1/2*1/2= 1/8cm3

Therefore the no of cubes to fit into the Prism will be:

1395/(1/8)= 11160 cubes.

If one was stuck,the number of 1/2 edge length cube to fit into 1cm will be:

1/(1/8)= 8 cubes
