Cube method:
Since the prism is made up of 12 cubes, we can simply add up the volumes of each individual cube.
Volume = (1/2)^3 * 12
Volume = 1/8 * 12
Volume = 12/8
Volume = 3/2
Therefore, the volume of the prism is 3/2 cubic inches.
Use the image to answer the question.
An illustration shows a rectangular prism made of cubes placed as 3 columns, 2 cubes high and 2 cubes deep.
A right rectangular prism is made up of 12 cubes that are 1/2-inch on each side. Use the cube method or the formula method to find the volume. Provide your answer as an improper fraction reduced to the lowest terms.
