A rectangular prism has a length of 9 in., a width of 4 in., and a height of 1 1/2in. The prism is filled with cubes that have edge lengths of 1/2 in. How many cubes are needed to fill the rectangular prism?

Hey there! :)

432 cubes.

Step-by-step explanation:

Volume of rectangular prism: V = l × w × h

V = 9 × 4 × 1.5

V = 54 in³

Volume of cubes: V = s³

V = 1/2³

V = 1/8 in³

Set up an equation to solve for the # of cubes needed (x):

54 = 1/8x

Divide both sides by 1/8:

54 × 8/1 = x

x = 432 cubes.

why do wages differ across industries

step-by-step explanation :

micro economists are concerned with economics on an industry or individual firm basis.

macro economists are concerned with national and international level

(f - g)(x) = 5x^3 - 3

step-by-step explanation:

rearrange these functions vertically, with like terms in separate columns:

f(x) = 5x^3 - 2

g(x) =         +1

now subtract, column by column:

(f - g)(x) = 5x^3 - 3
