V = 7 1/3 x 3 1/4 x 5 1/6
First, convert mixed numbers to improper fractions:
V = 22/3 x 13/4 x 31/6
Next, multiply the fractions:
V = (22 x 13 x 31) / (3 x 4 x 6)
V = 9242 / 72
V = 128.4167 cubic inches
Therefore, the correct method for solving this problem is to convert the mixed numbers to improper fractions, multiply the fractions, and then simplify the result to find the volume of the rectangular prism.
