The volume of the rectangular prism can be found by multiplying the length, width, and height.

In this case, the length is 3 cubes (1 inch each), the width is 2 cubes (1 inch each), and the height is 2 cubes (1 inch each).

So, the volume is 3 x 2 x 2 = 12 cubic inches.

Since each cube is 1/3 inch on each side, the volume of the prism can be represented as 12 x (1/3)^3 = 12 x 1/27 = 12/27 = 4/9 cubic inches.
