Since the cubes measure 1/6 of a centimeter on each side, the volume of each cube is (1/6)^3 = 1/216 cubic centimeters.
To find the volume of the entire prism, we need to multiply the volume of one cube by the total number of cubes in the prism.
Let's say the prism has dimensions of 3 units x 4 units x 5 units. This means there are 3 x 4 x 5 = 60 cubes in the prism.
So, the volume of the prism is:
Volume = volume of one cube x total number of cubes
Volume = (1/216) cubic cm x 60
Volume = 60/216
Volume = 5/18 cubic centimeters
Therefore, the volume of the prism is 5/18 cubic centimeters.
The prism below is made of cubes which measure 1/6 of a centimeter on one side.
