Given : A solid wooden block in the shape of a rectangular prism has a length, width, and height of 3/8 centimeter, 1/8 centimeter, and 5/8 centimeter, respectively.
To Find :The volume of the block
The number of cubic wooden blocks with a side length of 1/8 centimeter that can be cut from the rectangular block .
Solution:
Volume of rectangular prism = length * width * height
= (3/8) ( 1/8) ( 5/8)
= 15/8³
= 15/512
= 0.029296875 cm³
Volume of block = 15/512 cm³ or 0.029296875 cm³
Volume of cube = ( edge length )³
=> cubic wooden blocks volume = (1/8)³ = 1/512 cm³
The number of cubic wooden blocks that can be cut = (15/512) / (1 /512)
= 15
Volume of block = 15/512 cm³ or 0.029296875 cm³
The number of cubic wooden blocks that can be cut = 15
