<h3>
Answer: 33 cubic units</h3>
===================================================
Explanation:
Convert the mixed number 3 & 2/3 to an improper fraction
3 & 2/3 = 3 + 2/3
3 & 2/3 = 9/3 + 2/3
3 & 2/3 = (9+2)/3
3 & 2/3 = 11/3
The prism has a base area of 9 square units and a height of 11/3 units.
Multiply the base area by the height to get the volume
volume = (base area)*(height)
volume = (9)*(11/3)
volume = 99/3
volume = 33 cubic units
------------
You could choose to not convert to an improper fraction, and your steps may look like this
volume = (base area)*(height)
volume = (9)*(3 + 2/3)
volume = 9*3 + 9*(2/3) .... distribute
volume = 27 + 18/3
volume = 27 + 6
volume = 33 cubic units
Either way we get the same volume.
