Emily completely fills a container with 6 cubes. Each cube has an edge length of

3 centimeters. The container is in the shape of a right rectangular prism. What is the
volume of the container in cubic centimeters?

If Emily has 6 cubes of 3 x 3 x 3, or 27 cubic cms. each, and these completely fill the prism, then the prism must be:
27 x 6, or 162 cms.^3 total volume. ☺☺☺☺
