Question 869674: How many 1/8 inch cubes will fit in a rectangular prism that is 4x 8 x 1/2. I know the answer is 128 and I can solve it mathematically but when I draw it i get 256. Can you explain how to draw the solution. I think the error has to do with my dimensions being in inches and the volume of the cube is in cubic inches. Thank you!

You can put this solution on YOUR website! How many 1/8 inch cubes will fit in a rectangular prism that is 4x 8 x 1/2.
Find the volume of the rectangular prism
4 * 8 * 1/2 = 16 cu/in
:
A cube of 1/8" on each side will have a volume of = cu/in
:
16 * 512 = 8192 ea 1/8" cubes
