The volume of the right rectangular prism packed with cubes can be calculated by multiplying the number of cubes by the volume of each cube.
The total number of cubes in the prism is 3 columns x 2 cubes high = 6 cubes.
The volume of each cube is (1/3 inch)^3 = 1/27 cubic inch.
Therefore, the total volume of the prism packed with cubes is 6 cubes x 1/27 cubic inch/cube = 6/27 cubic inches = 2/9 cubic inches.
So, the volume of the right rectangular prism packed with cubes is 2/9 cubic inches.
