MGSE6.G.2

Find the volume of a right rectangular prism with fractional edge lengths by packing it with unit cubes of the appropriate unit fraction edge lengths (1/2 u), and show that the volume is the same as would be found by multiplying the edge lengths of the prism. Apply the formulas V = (length) x (width) x (height) and V= (area of basx (height) to find volumes of right rectangular prisms with fractional edge lengths in the context of solving real-world and mathematical problems.
