The volume of the right rectangular prism packed with cubes can be calculated by multiplying the number of cubes in each dimension: 3 columns * 2 cubes * 1 cube = 6 cubes.
Since each cube has an edge length of 1/3 inch, the volume of each cube is (1/3)^3 = 1/27 cubic inches.
Therefore, the volume of the right rectangular prism packed with cubes is:
6 cubes * 1/27 cubic inches/cube = 6/27 cubic inches = 2/9 cubic inches.
