Answer:
$(385)/(4)\ in.^3$

Explanation:

Given

Length of prism
$L=3\ (1)/(2)=(7)/(2)\ in.$

Width of prism
$w=5\ in.$

Height of prism
$h=(11)/(2)\ in.$

The volume of a rectangular prism is

$\Rightarrow V=L* w* h$

Putting values

$\Rightarrow V=(7)/(2)* 5* (11)/(2)\\\\\Rightarrow V=(385)/(4)\ in.^3$

The volume of prism is
$(385)/(4)\ in.^3$
