The area of the base of the rectangular prism is 6 square yards. Since each cube has the same size, the area of the base of each cube is 1 square yard.
To find the number of cubes needed to fill the prism, we need to divide the area of the base of the prism by the area of the base of each cube:
6 square yards / 1 square yard = 6 cubes
