To determine how much food fits in the box, we need to find the volume of the rectangular prism. The volume \(\( V \)\) of a rectangular prism can be calculated using the formula:

\(\[ V = \text{length} \times \text{width} \times \text{height} \]\)

Given:
- Length = 6 inches
- Width = 5 inches
- Height = 3 inches

Substitute these values into the formula:

\(\[ V = 6 \times 5 \times 3 \]\)

Now, perform the multiplication step-by-step:

\(\[ V = 6 \times 5 = 30 \]\)
\(\[ V = 30 \times 3 = 90 \]\)

Thus, the volume of the box is \(\( 90 \)\) cubic inches.

Answer:
90
