For this question, if the answer is not a whole number, enter it as a fraction using / as the fraction bar.

Rajek, a truck driver, hauls containers for his customers. One customer wants to know the total amount of cardboard that can fit in a container at one time.
(truck) 4 1/2 ft

The base of the container has an area of 50 1/4 square feet.

The amount of cardboard Rajek can fit in the container at one time is_____
cubic feet.

It's hard to determine the correct answer without a visual image or specific dimensions given for the prism. However, if we assume that the prism is a rectangular solid composed of cubes with side length 1/5 inch, we can use the formula for the volume of a rectangular solid:

V = lwh

where V is the volume, l is the length, w is the width, and h is the height.

If we let the length, width, and height of the prism be x, y, and z respectively, then we can express them in terms of the number of cubes that make up each dimension. For example, if the prism is composed of 5 cubes in length, then x = 5(1/5) = 1 inch. Similarly, if the prism is composed of 12 cubes in width and 15 cubes in height, then y = 12(1/5) = 2.4 inches and z = 15(1/5) = 3 inches.

Therefore, the volume of the prism is:

V = (1)(2.4)(3) = 7.2 cubic inches

None of the answer choices provided match this calculation, so we cannot determine the correct answer without more information.

We need to find the volume of the container in cubic feet, given the base area. Since the base area is given as 50 1/4 square feet, we can find the length and width of the base using the formula for the area of a rectangle:

area = length x width

50 1/4 = length x width

Next, we need to convert the dimensions of the container from feet to inches, since the thickness of the cardboard is given in inches.

4 1/2 feet = 54 inches

Now we can find the volume of the container in cubic inches:

volume = base area x height

volume = 50 1/4 x 54

volume = 2712 cubic inches

Finally, we need to convert the volume to cubic feet by dividing by the number of cubic inches in a cubic foot:

2712 cubic inches ÷ (12 inches/foot)^3 ≈ 15.68 cubic feet

Therefore, the amount of cardboard Rajek can fit in the container at one time is approximately 15.68 cubic feet. We need to enter this as a fraction, so the answer is 15 11/25.
