6.G.2

Find the volume of a right rectangular prism with fractional edge lengths by applying the formulas V = lwh and V = Bh (B is the area of the base and h is the height) to find volumes of right rectangular prisms with fractional edge lengths in the context of solving real-world and mathematical problems. (Builds on the 5th grade concept of packing unit cubes to find the volume of a rectangular prism with whole number edge lengths.)
