Answer 1

The volume of the right rectangular prism packed with 8 cubes would be 1125 cubic centimeters. Each cube has an edge length of 15 centimeters, so the volume of one cube is 15 x 15 x 15 = 3375 cubic centimeters. Since there are 8 cubes, you would multiply 3375 by 8 to get a total volume of 27000 cubic centimeters. Dividing by 24 (since there are 24 small cubes in the rectangular prism) gives a volume of 1125 cubic centimeters.
