160

Step-by-step explanation:

Each cube is 1/2 inch, so there will be 2 cubes in each 1 inch of length. The dimensions of the prism in terms of the number of cubes are ...

length: 4 in ⇒ 4×2 = 8 cubes

width: 2 in ⇒ 2×2 = 4 cubes

height: 2 1/2 in ⇒ (2 1/2)×2 = 5 cubes

Then the number of cubes required to fill the prism is ...

8 × 4 × 5 = 160 . . . . cubes

The volume of the prism is equivalent to that of 160 1/2-inch cubes.
