How many cubes with 1/2 inch side lengths will fit inside a prism with a volume of 56 cubic inches?
I'm thinking 112, since 56 * 2 =112, but I'm not sure if that's the right thinking.

56 cubes of 1" sides will fit inside the 56in^3 block.
volumes scale as the linear factor cubed, so 8*56 1/2" blocks will fit.
Each 1" cube holds 8 1/2" cubelets.
