Use the image to answer the question.
An illustration shows a vertical rectangular prism made of cubes placed as 2 columns of 4 rows each.
What is the volume of the right rectangular prism packed with 8 cubes? Each cube has an edge length of 15 centimeter.
8/5 cubic centimeters
1/125 cubic centimeters
8 cubes
8/125 cubic centimeters
1 answer
The answer is 8, since the problem only asks for the volume of the right rectangular prism with 8 cubes, and each cube has the same dimensions (15cm x 15cm x 15cm). Therefore, the volume would just be 8 times the volume of one cube, which is (15cm x 15cm x 15cm) = 3375 cubic centimeters. So the answer is 8 x 3375 = 27,000 cubic centimeters. None of the given answer choices are correct.
