The volume of the prism using the cube method is equal to the total number of cubes that fit inside the prism. Counting the cubes in the image, there are 12 cubes in total.
Volume = 12 cubes = 12/1 * (1/3)^3 = 12/1 * 1/27 = 12/27 = 4/9
Therefore, the volume of the prism using the cube method is 4/9 cubic inches.
