Answer: volume = 5.5625 cubic units.

Explanation:

A rectangular prism is filled with 356 cubes, then the volume of the prism will be equal to 356 times the volume of a single cube.

We know that for a cube with side length L, the volume is:

V = L^3

And we know that these small cubes have an edge length of 1/4 units.

Then the volume of each small cube is:

V = (1/4)^3 cubic units

V = (1/64) cubic units

And the volume of the prism will be 356 times that, then the volume of the prism is:

volume = 356*(1/64) cubic units

volume = 5.5625 cubic units.
