How many cubes with side lengths of 1/3 does it take to fill the prism

Step-by-step explanation:

along the side with 1 cm we can fit 3 cubes, as 3×1/3 = 1.

along the side with 2 2/3 cm we can fit 8 cubes :

2 2/3 = 6/3 + 2/3 = 8/3.

and 8/3 / 1/3 = 8/3 × 3/1 = 3×8 / 3×1 = 8

and the height is 2/3 cm, so we can put 2 layers of cubes on top of each other.

so, we have

3 × 8 × 2 = 48

48 cubes are needed to fill the prism.

robert puts 2 in each row

{x = -1/2 ,   y = -1

step-by-step explanation:

solve the following system:

{2 x + y = -2

{10 x - 3 y = -2

in the first equation, look to solve for y:

{2 x + y = -2

{10 x - 3 y = -2

subtract 2 x from both sides:

{y = -2 x - 2

{10 x - 3 y = -2

substitute y = -2 x - 2 into the second equation:

{y = -2 x - 2

{10 x - 3 (-2 x - 2) = -2

10 x - 3 (-2 x - 2) = (6 x + 6) + 10 x = 16 x + 6:

{y = -2 x - 2

{16 x + 6 = -2

in the second equation, look to solve for x:

{y = -2 x - 2

{16 x + 6 = -2

subtract 6 from both sides:

{y = -2 x - 2

{16 x = -8

divide both sides by 16:

{y = -2 x - 2

{x = -1/2

substitute x = -1/2 into the first equation:

{y = -1

{x = -1/2
