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

In this case, the length, width, and height of the rectangular prism can be calculated as:

Length = 3 blocks * 1/3 inch = 1 inch
Width = 1 block * 1/3 inch = 1/3 inch
Height = 3 blocks * 1/3 inch = 1 inch

Therefore, the volume of the rectangular prism is:

Volume = Length * Width * Height
Volume = 1 inch * 1/3 inch * 1 inch
Volume = 1/3 inch^3

So, the volume of the right rectangular prism packed with cubes is 1/3 inch^3.
wrong
Apologies for the mistake. Let's correct the calculation:

The length of the rectangular prism is 3 blocks * 1/3 inch = 1 inch.
The width of the rectangular prism is 1 block * 1/3 inch = 1/3 inch.
The height of the rectangular prism is 3 blocks * 1/3 inch = 1 inch.

To find the volume of the rectangular prism, we multiply the length, width, and height:

Volume = 1 inch * 1/3 inch * 1 inch
Volume = 1/3 inch^3

Therefore, the correct volume of the right rectangular prism packed with cubes is 1/3 cubic inch.
