Calculate Cube Volume: Finding Volume with 0.5 cm Edge Length

To solve this problem, we will calculate the volume of a cube using the standard formula for its volume:

• Volume formula of a cube: $V = s^3$, where $s$ is the side length.

Given that each edge of the cube is 0.5 cm, we substitute this value into the formula:

$V = (0.5 \, \text{cm})^3$

Calculating the cube of 0.5:

$0.5^3 = 0.5 \times 0.5 \times 0.5$

$= 0.25 \times 0.5$

$= 0.125 \, \text{cm}^3$

However, it is important to recognize that the calculations when simplified produce a fraction:

$0.125$ can be written in fraction form as $\frac{1}{8}$.

Therefore, the volume of the cube is $\frac{1}{8} \, \text{cm}^3$, which matches the given answer choice.
