Using cubes of an appropriate size, pack a right rectangular prism having fractional edge lengths to find its volume. Then show that the volume is the same as would be found by multiplying the edge lengths of the prism. Apply the formulas V = lwh and V = Bh to find volumes of right rectangular prisms with fractional edge lengths in the context of solving real world and mathematical problems.
