The edge length of the cube that you will use to check the volume of the rectangular prism is the greatest common divisor of the three dimensions: 1, 1 ⅓, and 2 ⅔.
1 = 1/1, 1 ⅓ = 4/3, 2 ⅔ = 8/3
The greatest common divisor of 1, 4, and 8 is 1. Therefore, the edge length of the cube you will use is 1 inch.
Use the image to answer the question.
An illustration shows a 3 D rectangular cuboid with length of 1 start fraction 1 over 3 end fraction, a width of 1, and a height of start fraction 2 over 3 end fraction. The sides at the back that are not visible are shown as dashed lines.
You find the volume of the right rectangular prism using the formula method and want to check your answer using the cube method. What is the edge length of the cubes you will use? Lengths are given in inches. Provide your answer as a fraction reduced to the lowest terms.

wrong please get it right
I apologize for the error in my previous response. Let's correctly calculate the edge length of the cube that you will use to check the volume of the rectangular prism.
The dimensions of the rectangular prism are:
Length = 1 ⅓ = 4/3 inches
Width = 1 inch
Height = 2 ⅔ = 8/3 inches
To find the greatest common divisor (GCD) of 4/3, 1, and 8/3:
GCD(4, 3, 8) = 1
Therefore, the edge length of the cube that you will use to check the volume of the rectangular prism is 1 inch.
The dimensions of the rectangular prism are:
Length = 1 ⅓ = 4/3 inches
Width = 1 inch
Height = 2 ⅔ = 8/3 inches
To find the greatest common divisor (GCD) of 4/3, 1, and 8/3:
GCD(4, 3, 8) = 1
Therefore, the edge length of the cube that you will use to check the volume of the rectangular prism is 1 inch.
NO THAT IS WRONG find the edge length
I apologize for the confusion. Let's calculate the edge length of the cube that you will use to check the volume of the rectangular prism correctly.
The dimensions of the rectangular prism are:
Length = 1 ⅓ = 4/3 inches
Width = 1 inch
Height = 2 ⅔ = 8/3 inches
To find the edge length of the cube used for the cube method, we need to find the greatest common divisor (GCD) of 4, 3, and 8.
GCD(4, 3, 8) = 1
Therefore, the edge length of the cube that you will use to check the volume of the rectangular prism is 1 inch. If there is any mistake, please let me know how I can rectify it.
