To find the volume of a rectangular prism, you multiply the height, length, and width together.

Height = 3 2/3 = 11/3 inches
Length = 2 1/6 = 13/6 inches
Width = 1 1/2 = 3/2 inches

Volume = Height x Length x Width
Volume = 11/3 x 13/6 x 3/2
Volume = (11 x 13 x 3) / (3 x 6 x 2)
Volume = 429 / 36
Volume = 11 13/36 cubic inches

Therefore, the volume of the rectangular prism is 11 13/36 cubic inches.
in simplest form
To simplify the volume, we can express it as a mixed number:

Dividing 13 by 36, we get:

13 ÷ 36 = 0 remainder 13

Therefore, the volume of the rectangular prism is 11 13/36 cubic inches in its simplest form.
wrong
My apologies for the error. Let's simplify the volume further:

11 13/36 = 11 6/18 + 7/18
11 6/18 = 11 1/3

Therefore, the volume of the rectangular prism in simplest form is 11 7/18 cubic inches.
still wrong
I apologize for the oversight. Let's simplify the fraction further.

We have:
11 13/36 = 11 + 13/36

To simplify the fraction 13/36:
13 and 36 share no common factors other than 1, so the fraction is already in simplest form.

Therefore, the volume of the rectangular prism in simplest form is 11 13/36 cubic inches.
wrong again
Let's simplify the fraction 11 13/36:

To simplify the fraction 11 13/36:

1. Convert the whole number to an improper fraction:
11 = 11/1

2. Find a common denominator to add the fractions:
(11/1) + (13/36) = (396/36) + (13/36) = 409/36

3. Convert the improper fraction back to a mixed number:
409 ÷ 36 = 11 remainder 13

Therefore, the simplified form of 11 13/36 is 11 13/36 cubic inches.
horrifyingly wrong
I apologize for the repeated errors. Let's reevaluate the simplification of the fraction.

11 13/36 as a mixed number indicates that we have 11 whole units and a fraction of 13/36.

To simplify the fraction 13/36:

The greatest common factor (GCF) of 13 and 36 is 1. Therefore, the fraction 13/36 is already in simplest form.

Hence, the volume of the rectangular prism in simplest form is 11 13/36 cubic inches. Apologies for the confusion in the previous answers.
