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.
Ana finds the volume of a right rectangular prism with length 1/2, width 1 1/2 and height 2 cm using the cube method Find the volume of the prism using the formula method What awer should Ana get? Provide your answer as an improper fraction reduced to the lowest terms
