Ana finds the volume of a right rectangular prism with length 1/2 cm, width 1/12 cm, and height 2 cm using the cube method. Find the volume of the prism using the formula method. What answer should Ana get? Provide your answer as an improper fraction reduced to the lowest terms.(1 point)
cubic centimeters
Cube method:
Using the cube method, Ana would visualize stacking cubes with side lengths of 1/12 cm, 1/2 cm, and 2 cm to fill the prism and count how many cubes fit.
1/12 x 1/2 x 2 = 1/12 cubic centimeters.
Formula method:
The formula for the volume of a rectangular prism is V = lwh.
Given:
l = 1/2 cm
w = 1/12 cm
h = 2 cm
Substitute the values into the formula:
V = (1/2)(1/12)(2)
V = 1/24 cubic centimeters
Therefore, Ana should get the volume of the prism as 1/24 cubic centimeters.
