Remember: Small cubes fill a box with fraction edges. Count them, or multiply the edges: it is the same volume.

Pack the box

1
A box is 1 unit long, 1 unit wide and 1 unit high. It is packed with third-unit cubes. How many cubes fill it?
2
This box is packed with half-foot cubes, 3 long, 3 wide and 2 high. How many half-foot cubes fill it?
3
8 half-foot cubes fill 1 cubic foot. What is the volume of that box in cubic feet? Write a fraction.
4
A cube that is 1/2 foot on every edge has a volume of 1/8 cubic foot.
TrueFalse
5
Third-unit cubes fill this box, 5 long, 3 wide and 3 high. 27 third-unit cubes fill 1 cubic unit. What is the volume in cubic units? Write a fraction.
6
Each small cube is one half unit on every side. Which box has a volume of 2 cubic units?
Box 1
Box 2
Box 3

11
Multiply the edges. Number the boxes from the smallest volume (1) to the largest (4).
  • 1 × 1 × 3/4
  • 2 × 1/2 × 1
  • 1/2 × 1/2 × 2
  • 3/2 × 1/2 × 2
