Answer:

A. 1 1/2 cubic inches

Explanation:

We are told that the side length of the cube is 1/8 of an inch. Furthermore, we are also told that the rectangular prism fits 16 cubes along the length, 8 cubes along the width, and 6 cubes along the height. This means the measures of the dimensions of the prism are


\begin{gathered} (1)/(8)*16\: in=2\: in \\ \end{gathered}
(1)/(8)*6\: in=0.75\: in


(1)/(8)*8\: in=1\: in

Therefore, the volume of the prism is


2\: in*0.75\: in*1\: in=1(1)/(2)\: in^3

Hence, the volume of the prism is 1 1/2 cubic inches
