Question

you are on question 23 of 40. show formula page show calculator small cube = 1 cubic inch larger block volume = ? if one small block is one cubic inch, what is the volume of the larger block? 15 cubic inches 20 cubic inches 36 cubic inches 60 cubic inches

Explanation:

Step1: Determine dimensions of the larger block

Looking at the larger block, we can see that along the length, there are 5 small blocks, along the width, there are 3 small blocks, and along the height, there are 4 small blocks.

Step2: Calculate the volume

The volume of a rectangular prism (which the larger block is) is given by the formula \( V = l \times w \times h \), where \( l \) is length, \( w \) is width, and \( h \) is height. Substituting the number of small blocks (since each small block is 1 cubic inch, the number of small blocks gives the length, width, height in inches) we get \( V=5\times3\times4 \).
Calculating \( 5\times3 = 15 \), then \( 15\times4=60 \).

Answer:

60 cubic inches
