Using the cube method, Ana would create a cube with side length equal to the greatest common factor of the dimensions, which in this case is 1/2 cm. Then she would count the number of smaller cubes that would fit inside the larger cube and multiply by the volume of each small cube, which is (1/2 cm)^3 = 1/8 cubic centimeters.

Since the length, width, and height are given in different units, we first need to convert them all to the same unit. 1/2 cm is equivalent to 0.5 cm and 1 1/2 cm is equivalent to 1.5 cm. The volume of the prism is then:

(0.5 cm) x (1.5 cm) x (2 cm) = 1.5 cubic centimeters

Therefore, Ana should get 1 1/2 or 3/2 cubic centimeters.
