To find the volume of the right rectangular prism using the cube method, we count the number of cubes that fit inside the prism.
From the image, we can see that there are five rows of cubes stacked on top of each other. Each row has six cubes.
Therefore, the total number of cubes is 5 rows * 6 cubes = 30 cubes.
Since each cube represents a volume of 1/3 inch * 1/3 inch * 1/3 inch = 1/27 cubic inches, the total volume of the prism is 30 cubes * 1/27 cubic inches = 30/27 cubic inches.
Reducing this fraction to the lowest terms, we get 10/9 cubic inches.
So, the volume of the prism is 10/9 cubic inches.
is that right?
Apologies for the mistake in my previous response. Let's correct it:
Each cube has sides that are 1/3 inch long, which means the volume of each cube is (1/3)^3 = 1/27 cubic inches.
From the image, we can see that the prism is 6 cubes wide, 5 cubes long, and 5 cubes tall.
So, the total number of cubes that make up the prism is 6 * 5 * 5 = 150 cubes.
Therefore, the total volume of the prism is 150 cubes * 1/27 cubic inches per cube = 150/27 cubic inches. This can be simplified to 50/9 cubic inches.
Therefore, the volume of the prism is 50/9 cubic inches.

Apologies for the error. Let's calculate the volume of the prism correctly using the cube method:
From the image, we can see that the prism is 6 cubes wide, 5 cubes long, and 5 cubes tall.
Therefore, the total number of cubes that make up the prism is 6 * 5 * 5 = 150 cubes.
Since each cube has a volume of 1/3 * 1/3 * 1/3 = 1/27 cubic inches, the total volume of the prism is 150 cubes * 1/27 cubic inches per cube = 150/27 cubic inches.
Reducing this fraction to the lowest terms, we get 50/9 cubic inches.
Therefore, the correct volume of the prism using the cube method is 50/9 cubic inches. Thank you for your patience.
