Any ideas? :-)

OpenStudy (tal_tal):

well the choices are 40 80 160 24

OpenStudy (tal_tal):

I think its 24

OpenStudy (skullpatrol):

How did you calculate it?

OpenStudy (tal_tal):

1 1/3 x 5/6 x 2/3 x 1/6?

OpenStudy (skullpatrol):

You should divide by 1/6 to see how many go into prism, right?

OpenStudy (tal_tal):

yes

OpenStudy (skullpatrol):

1 1/3 = 4/3

OpenStudy (skullpatrol):

Also note: use (1/6)^3
