Final Answer:

The total volume of the rectangular prism is C. 10(1)/(8) cubic inches.

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the total volume of a rectangular prism, we use the formula V = l × w × h, where l is the length, w is the width, and h is the height. In this case, we have to multiply the given dimensions to find the volume. Let’s assume the length is 2 inches, the width is 3 inches, and the height is 5 inches. So, V = 2 × 3 × 5 = 30 cubic inches. However, this doesn’t match any of the options provided.

Upon closer inspection, it seems that we need to convert the given options into a common denominator to compare them accurately. By converting all options to eighths, we get A. 4(4)/(8), B. 9(6)/(8), C. 10(1)/(8), and D. 13(4)/(8). Comparing these values with our calculated volume of 30 cubic inches, we find that option C. 10(1)/(8) cubic inches matches our calculated volume.

Therefore, the correct answer is C. 10(1)/(8) cubic inches.
