The volume of a rectangular prism is its length times width times height, or algebraically,

. You may be used to computing volume with numbers, but remember, a variable is a stand-in for a number. So you can solve this in the same way. Substitute

into the formula for volume. You get

, and you multiply these factors together. As you would with ordinary fractions, multiply the numerators and denominators across. You get

. It seems that the book wants you to simplify by bringing the 6 up to the denominator. Recall the rule

, if n is non-negative. The opposite applies so that

. For your final answer, you write

. This corresponds to
answer choice B.
