find the volume of the right rectangular prism packed with 12 cubes each cube has a edge length of 1/2 inches
A. 5
B. 1/8
C. 3/2
D. 12
B. 1/8 inches
The volume of a cube is given by the formula V = s^3, where s is the side length of the cube. In this case, each cube has an edge length of 1/2 inches, so the volume of each cube is (1/2)^3 = 1/8 cubic inches.
Since there are 12 cubes, the total volume of the right rectangular prism is 12 * (1/8) = 1.5 cubic inches = 1/8 inches.
