How many small cubes are needed to completely fill a right rectangular prism with dimensions of 4 1/2 x 5 x 3 3/4?

What I am asking is that I need a lot of help solving this. I need it completely filled with no extra space.

Im guessing that the small cubes inside are supposed to be one cubic unit each.
 
You find the volume of the prism by multiplying the length, width, and height that you have. That's how many small ones will fit. :-)

But it looks like if the small cubes are one cubic unit each, they wont fill the box perfectly. Does the problem give you the size of the small cubes?
