Use the image to answer the question.
An illustration shows a 3 D rectangular cuboid segmented into 5 rows by 2 columns of blocks. The length is start fraction 1 over 2 end fraction, width is start fraction 1 over 4 end fraction, and height is start fraction 5 over 4 end fraction.
Multiply the edge lengths of a right rectangular prism with length 12
m, width 14
m, and height 54
m to show that the product is the same as the volume found by packing the prism with 10 unit cubes with an edge length of 14
m. What is the volume of the prism?
5/32
1 answer
The answer is 5/32 because when you multiply the length, width, and height of the prism, you get the same product as when you count the number of unit cubes inside the prism. Since there are 10 unit cubes, you know the volume is 5/32.
