Find the volume of the right rectangular prism using the cube method Each cube is 1/3 inch on each side. What is the volume of the rectangular prism? your answer as a fraction reduced to the lowest term
Since each cube is 1/3 inch on each side, we can think of the rectangular prism as being divided into a grid of cubes.
To find the volume of the rectangular prism, we need to count the number of cubes that make it up and then multiply by the volume of a single cube.
The rectangular prism has dimensions of length, width, and height. Let's call these dimensions L, W, and H, respectively.
We can think of the rectangular prism as being made up of L columns, each with W rows of cubes, and each row having H cubes stacked on top of one another.
So the total number of cubes in the rectangular prism is L x W x H.
The volume of a single cube is given by (1/3)^3 = 1/27 cubic inches.
Therefore, the volume of the rectangular prism is:
L x W x H x 1/27
Answer: LWH/27
