To find the volume of the right rectangular prism packed with 8 cubes, we first need to find the volume of one cube and then multiply by 8.
Each cube has an edge length of 1/5 centimeter. The volume of a cube is calculated using the formula: Volume = edge length^3
Volume of one cube = (1/5)^3 = 1/125 cubic centimeters
Since there are 8 cubes in the right rectangular prism, the total volume is 8 times the volume of one cube:
Volume of the right rectangular prism = 8 * (1/125) = 8/125 = Start Fraction 8 over 125 End Fraction cubic centimeters
Therefore, the correct answer is: Start Fraction 8 over 125 End Fraction cubic centimeters.
