The equation to find the volume of a right rectangular prism is the following;


V=l\cdot w\cdot h

in this case, we have the following information about the rectangular prism:


\begin{gathered} l=2(1)/(2)=(5)/(2) \\ w=6(1)/(4)=(25)/(4) \\ h=3(1)/(5)=(16)/(5) \end{gathered}

then, using the formula, we get:


\begin{gathered} V=((5)/(2))((25)/(4))((16)/(5))=(5\cdot25\cdot16)/(2\cdot4\cdot5)=(2000)/(40)=50 \\ V=50\operatorname{cm} \end{gathered}

therefore, the volume is 50 cm^3
