Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
first solve the volume of the rectangular prism
V = l x w x h
where l is the length
w is the width
h is the height
V = 7 x 4 x 2.5
v = 70 cu cm
then solve the volume of the box
v = e^3
v = 0.5^3
v = 0.125
number of cubes = 70 / 0.125
number of cubes = 560 cubes
Answer:
The number of cubes are needed to fill the rectangular prism = 448 cubes
Step-by-step explanation:
It is given that,
A rectangular prism has a length of 7 cm, a width of 4 cm, and a height of 2 cm. The prism is filled with cubes that have edge lengths of 1/2 cm
To find the volume of rectangular prism
Volume of rectangular prism = Length x Width X Height
Length = 7 cm, Width = 4 cm and height = 2cm
Volume = 7 x 4 x 2 = 56 cm³
To find the volume of small cubes
Volume of cube = a³
a = 1/2 cm = 0.5³ = 0.125
To find the number of cubes needed to fill prism
Number of cubes = Volume of prism/ volume of cube
= 56/0.125 = 448 cubes
Therefore the correct answer is 448 cubes
