A rectangular prism with a volume of 4 cubic units is filled with cubes with side lengths of 1/3 units. How many 1/3 units does it take to fill the prism?

Answer :

calculista

Answer:

108 cubes

Step-by-step explanation:

step 1

Find the volume of the cube with side length of 1/3 units

The volume of the cube is equal to

[tex]V=b^3[/tex]

where

b is the side length

we have

[tex]b=\frac{1}{3}\ units[/tex]

substitute

[tex]V=(\frac{1}{3})^3[/tex]

[tex]V=\frac{1}{27}\ units^3[/tex]

step 2

To find how many cubes are needed to fill the prism, divide 4 cubic units (volume of the rectangular prism) by 1/27 cubic units (volume of one cube)

[tex]4:\frac{1}{27}=4*27= 108\ cubes[/tex]
