24 cubes
To find out how many 1/3-inch cubes can fit inside the rectangular prism, we first need to calculate the volume of the rectangular prism. The volume of a rectangular prism is found by multiplying the length, width, and height together.
Volume = 1 1/3 x 1 x 2/3 = 2/3 cubic inches.
To find out how many 1/3-inch cubes fit inside, we need to calculate how many cubes can fit in the volume we calculated.
2/3 cubic inches / (1/3) cubic inches per cube = 2.
Therefore, 24 cubes would fit inside the right rectangular prism.
