Answer:
a.The number of cubes with edge length 1/2 cm that fit in this prism= 2520
b. Volume of the prism= 315 cm³
Step-by-step explanation:
Volume of the rectangular prism = length *width * height
= 7 1/2 * 12 * 15 1/2
= 7 * 6* 15 1/2
= 7*3*15
= 315 cm³
Volume of the cube = length *width * height
= 1/2 *1/2 *1/2
= 1/8 cm³
Now number of cubes that would fit in the rectangular prism is given by
= Volume of the prism/ Volume of the cubes
= 315/1/8
= 2520
The number of cubes with edge length cm that fit in this prism= 2520
