It depends on how the rectangular solid is built. If the side of a cube is "a", then your original solid could be a x a x 54a, or a x 2a x 27a, or 2a x 3a x 9a or one of quite a few others, and the answer depends on the one you specify.
When a cube is painted on all six faces and then sliced into 27 smaller cubes (which creates a 3x3x3 arrangement), the smaller cubes that are painted on only one face are those located in the center of each face of the larger cube. There are 6 faces on the cube, and each face has 1 center cube that is painted only on one side. Therefore, there are a total of 6 smaller cubes that are painted on only one face.
A rectangular prism that is 4 cubes by 2 cubes is made up of 8 cubes.
Cubes have a square on each side, but rectangular prisms have rectangles or squares.
There is no limit to the number of cubes which can be arranged on top of a rectangular prism.
A rectangular prism has two bases, each of which is a rectangle, and four rectangular sides. The 12 cubes are the same as the rectangular prisms, except that each of the rectangles is a square.

0 sides are not painted! So all the cubes have three faces painted!

No it is not
How many smaller cubes are not painted at all if a cube is painted green on all sides & cut into 64 cubes of equal size?
Cubes are special cases of rectangular prisms.
Depends on the dimensions of the prism, and how large of cubes they are.
A rectangular prism has two bases, each of which is a rectangle, and four rectangular sides. The 12 cubes are the same as the rectangular prisms, except that each of the rectangles is a square.
Well, honey, if the height is 4 cubes, that leaves you with 12 cubes to work with for the base. You can arrange those 12 cubes in various ways to form different rectangular prisms. So, technically speaking, there are multiple rectangular prisms you can create with 48 cubes and a height of 4 cubes.
This is a little odd, but: All squares are rectangles, but rectangles are never squares.
