To answer this question, we have to find the volume of one of the cubes from Lin's set. To do it use the formula to find the volume of a cube, which is the edgelength raised to 3:
[tex]\begin{gathered} V=ed^{3^{}} \\ V=(\frac{1}{2})^3 \\ V=\frac{1}{8} \end{gathered}[/tex]In this case, each cube has a volume of 1/8 cubic inches. To find the number of cubes in the set, perform the division of the volume of the box by the volume of one cube:
[tex]n=\frac{V_{box}}{V_{cube}}=\frac{56}{\frac{1}{8}}=8\cdot56=448[/tex]The set has 448 cubes.
