How many 1/2 inch cubes does it take to fill a box with a width of 3 1/2 inches, length of 2 inches and height of 5 1/2 inches?

Step-by-step explanation:

Remark

I'm going to assume that the edges of the cubes are 1/2 inch on each side.

V = 1/2 * 1/2 * 1/2 = 1/8 cubic inches.

Volume of the box

V = L * w * h

Givens

L = 2 inches

w = 3.5 inches

h = 5.5 inches

Solution

V = L * w * h

V = 2 * 3.5 * 5.5

V = 38.5

1/8 has the decimal equivalent value of 0.125

Number of cubes needed = Volume of the box / volume of the cube

Number of cubes needed = 38.5 / 0.125

Number of cubes needed = 308
