To find the volume of the rectangular prism, we can use the formula:

Volume = length x width x height

In this case, the length is 3 cubes (3 * 1/2 = 3/2 inches), the width is 2 cubes (2 * 1/2 = 1 inch), and the height is 2 cubes (2 * 1/2 = 1 inch).

Volume = 3/2 * 1 * 1
Volume = 3/2 cubic inches

Therefore, the volume of the rectangular prism made up of 12 cubes is 3/2 cubic inches.
