How many cubes with side lengths of 1/2 does it take to fill the prism? The prism has dimensions of 1, 2, and 2 1/2 cm

The volume of the cube is 1/2 x 1/2 x 1/2 = 1/8

length x width x height = volume

1x2x2.5=5

2 1/2 = 2.5 because 1/2=0.5

to divide fractions multiply the reciprocal. The reciprocal is the fraction flipped over

5 / 1/8 = 5 x 8/1

5x8/1=40

40 cubes
