Help please
The image below shows a rectangular prism and a cube
How many cubes are required to completely pack the prism without any gap or overlap?
Lemme get the image
I'll give the image to a friend so they can put it cuz I cant
lol
\[4=\frac{ 1 }{ 4 }x\] Solve for "X." This is not the finished answer.
So, What do I do? haha
\[0.25*(?)=4\]
I'm breaking it down into steps, please solve with me.
Its 16
Yes. Great job! Okay now. \[0.25*(?)=0.75\]
Solve for the question mark.
Its 3
Yes, two steps remain. \[0.25*(?)=1.50\]
Solve for the question mark.
I can't figure it out, lol.
Try doing this: \[1.50\div0.25=?\] After finding the value of the last one; Multiply; \[16*3*(last~value)=(Answer)\]
16*3=48
Don't forget about the last value that you haven't solved for.
12?
Okay let's try this as you seem to be stuck. \[0.25,0.50,0.75,1.00,1.25,1.50\] 1 2 3 4 5 6
So the last value is 6 according to that diagram. Now the FINAL STEP!/color] \[16*3*6=?\]
288
Yes, so 288 1/4 inch squares will fit in that rectangular prism
Ohhhhhh, so that's the answer? right?
Correct, nice job solving! =)
THX!!!
