An artist wants to make alabaster pyramids using a block of alabaster with a volume of 576 cubic inches. she plans to make each pyramid with a square base area of 3 square inches and a height of 4 inches. at most, how many pyramids can the artist make from the block of alabaster?

Pyramid
volume=base area times height times 1/3
or
length times widht times height times 1/3
base area=3
3 times height iems 1/3
height=4
3 times 3 times 1/3=4 times 1/3 times 3=4 times 1
each pyramide=4 in volume
so
x pyramids =alabaster volume
divide by pyramids
x=alabaster/pyrimds
alabaster=576
pyramids=4
divide
576/4=144
the artis can make 144 pyramids

The first option would be correct if it were one half and not one

If there are four friends then each would get, 1.25 or 1 1/4. so this is how i solved 5 ÷ 4 = 1.25 . hope this ; )
