The volume of a rectangular block is $120 \mathrm{~cm}^{3}$. If the area of its base is $24 \mathrm{~cm}^{2}$, what is its height?
(A) $5 \mathrm{~cm}$
(B) $15 \mathrm{~cm}$
(C) $0.2 \mathrm{~cm}$
(D) $0.6 \mathrm{~cm}$
(E) $1 \mathrm{~cm}$
Since the volume of a rectangular block is equal to the area of its base times its height, then the height of this particular rectangular block is $\frac{120 \mathrm{~cm}^{3}}{24 \mathrm{~cm}^{2}}=5 \mathrm{~cm}$.

ANSWER: (A)
