Given
A right rectangular prism's edge lengths are 10.5 inches, 5 inches, and 2 inches.
To find how many unit cubes of edge length 0.5 inches can fit inside the prism.
Explanation:
It is given that, the volume of the rectangular prism is,
[tex]\begin{gathered} Volume=l\times b\times h \\ =10.5\times5\times2 \\ =105in^3 \end{gathered}[/tex]Since the edge length of 0.5inch.
Then,
[tex]\begin{gathered} Volume\text{ of rectangular prism}=n\times Volume\text{ of a cube} \\ 105=n\times(0.5)^3 \\ n=\frac{105}{0.125} \\ n=840 \end{gathered}[/tex]Hence, the number of cubes is 840 unit cubes.
