The volume of a rectangular prism can be calculated by multiplying the length, width, and height. In this case, the dimensions of the rectangular prism are as follows:
Length: 3 cubes (3/3 inches)
Width: 2 cubes (2/3 inches)
Height: 2 cubes (2/3 inches)
Using the cube method, we multiply the dimensions to find the volume:
Volume = (3/3) * (2/3) * (2/3)
Volume = 12/27
Therefore, the volume of the right rectangular prism is 12/27 cubic inches.
