$Rectangular prism with dimensions 2 ft by 1/2 ft by 1/3 ft, showing unit fraction cubes of edge 1/6 ft being packed along the 2 ft length.$

A rectangular prism has dimensions $2 \times \frac{1}{2} \times \frac{1}{3}$ feet. You pack it with cubes of edge length $\frac{1}{6}$ ft. How many small cubes fit along the length (2 ft)?

Find the volume of a rectangular prism with $l = \frac{3}{4}$ m, $w = 2$ m, $h = \frac{5}{2}$ m.

Find the volume: $l = \frac{2}{3}$ ft, $w = \frac{3}{4}$ ft, $h = \frac{1}{2}$ ft.

A prism has a base area of $B = 7$ cm² and a height of $h = \frac{3}{2}$ cm. Find its volume using $V = Bh$ .

Find the volume: $l = 1\frac{1}{2}$ in, $w = 2$ in, $h = \frac{3}{4}$ in. (Convert the mixed number first.)
