Which is the correct calculation for the volume of the prism?

A prism has a length of 3 centimeters, height of 6 centimeters, and width of 2 and three-fourths centimeters.
6 times 3 + 2 and three-fourths = 20 and three-fourths cm3
6 times 3 times 2 and three-fourths = 49 and one-half cm3
6 + 3 + 2 and three-fourths = 11 and three-fourths cm3
3 and 2 and three-fourths = 8 and one-fourth cm3

Explanation:

Given prism:

- length of 3 centimeters, height of 6 centimeters, and width of 2 and three-fourths centimeters

length: 3 cm

height: 6 cm

width: 2.75 cm

Given statements:

6 times 3 + 2 and three-fourths = 20 and three-fourths cm³

6 times 3 times 2 and three-fourths = 49 and one-half cm³

6 + 3 + 2 and three-fourths = 11 and three-fourths cm³

3 and 2 and three-fourths = 8 and one-fourth cm³

Rectangular prism:

Triangular prism:
