Question

i skipped a day of school because u was sick and i missed a lesson. now i dont know how to do it.

Answer 1

The volume of a rectangular prism is length*width*height so one has a volume of 12*6*8=576 cubic inches.

A cube is just a rectangular prism with all sides equal, so its volume is 2³=8 cubic inches.

The larger prism can hold 576/8=72 of the smaller cubes.
