A box measuring 11/2 in x 1 in x 1 in is packed completely with
1/2-inch cubes, and 12 cubes fit exactly. Each 1/2-inch cube has
a volume of 1/8 cubic inch. What is the TOTAL volume of the box?

11/2 cubic inches (12 cubes x 1/8 cubic inch per cube)

12 cubic inches (the number of cubes that fit)

8 cubic inches (dividing the cube count by the cube's edge)

1/8 cubic inch (the volume of just one cube)
