Find the volume of the right rectangular prism packed with 1/2 cubes. Each cube has an edge length of 1/2 inch.
A. 1/8 cubic inches
B. 1/2 cubic inches
C. 3/2 cubic inches
D. 5 cubic inches
C. 3/2 cubic inches
To find the volume, we calculate the number of 1/2 cubes that can fit into the right rectangular prism (which is essentially the total volume of the prism).
Since each cube has an edge length of 1/2 inch, the total volume of the prism is equal to the number of cubes multiplied by the volume of each cube.
The dimensions of the prism do not matter in this case because we are only considering the volume in terms of 1/2 cubes.
Therefore, the volume is 3/2 cubic inches.
