Hi there!
[tex]\large\boxed{3 \text{ boxes}}[/tex]
Calculate the number of boxes of cubes needed by calculating the volume of the pictured figure.
We can see that it has a width of 4 blocks, depth of 2 blocks, and a height of 8 blocks.
Calculate volume: V = l × w × h
V = 4 × 2 × 8 = 64 cubes in each box.
Since she needs 140 cubes, we can find how many boxes she would need for this amount:
140 ÷ 64 = 2.1875.
However, you cannot buy a part of a box, which is why you must round to a whole number. However, only buying 2 boxes would be too little.
Thus, she would need to buy 3 boxes.
