When finding the volume of a rectangular prism, you multiply the length, width, and height.

Volume = length x width x height
Volume = (2 1/6) x (1 1/2) x (3 2/3)

First, convert all the mixed numbers to improper fractions:
Volume = (13/6) x (3/2) x (11/3)

Now multiply the fractions:
Volume = (13/6) x (3/2) x (11/3)
Volume = (13 x 3 x 11) / (6 x 2 x 3)
Volume = 429 / 36
Volume = 11 13/36 in³

Therefore, the volume of the rectangular prism is 11 13/36 cubic inches.
