Find the volume of the right rectangular prism using the cube method. Each cube is 1/3 inch on each side. What is the volume of the prism? Provide your answer as a fraction reduced to the lowest terms.

Answer 1

To find the volume of the right rectangular prism using the cube method, we need to count the number of cubes that fit into the prism.

The dimensions of the prism are not specified, so let's assume the prism is 3 cubes long, 2 cubes wide, and 4 cubes tall.

The volume of the prism is then:
Volume = 3 cubes x 2 cubes x 4 cubes = 24 cubes

Since each cube has a side length of 1/3 inch, the volume of the prism in cubic inches is:
24 cubes x (1/3 inch)^3 = 24 cubes x 1/27 cubic inches = 24/27 cubic inches = 8/9 cubic inches

Therefore, the volume of the prism is 8/9 cubic inches.
