To find the edge length of the cubes using the cube method, we need to find the greatest common factor of the length, width, and height.
Given:
Length = 2/3 inches
Width = 1 inch
Height = 1 1/3 inches
To find the edge length, we need to find the greatest common factor of 2/3, 1, and 4/3.
2/3 = 2/3
1 = 3/3
1 1/3 = 4/3
Now we will find the greatest common factor of 2/3, 3/3, and 4/3:
GCF(2/3, 3/3, 4/3) = 1/3
Therefore, the edge length of the cubes to be used in the cube method is 1/3 inch.
