The prism below is made of cubes which measure 1/5 of an inch on one side. What is the volume of the prism?
To find the volume of the prism, we need to multiply the base area by the height.
The base of the prism is a rectangle made up of 10 cubes in the width direction and 6 cubes in the length direction. So, the base area is 10 * 6 * (1/5) * (1/5) = 12/5 square inches.
The height of the prism is 8 cubes high, so the height is 8 * (1/5) = 8/5 inches.
Therefore, the volume of the prism is base area * height = (12/5) * (8/5) = 96/25 cubic inches.
