Jamal needs to find the volume of a rectangle or prism that has a height of 7 1/ 3 inches a limit of 3 1 /4 inches and the width of 5 1/6 which option shows the correct method for solving this problem

V=3 1/4 x 5 1/6

V=7 1/3 + 3 1/4 + 5 1/6

V=7 1/3 x 3 1/4 x 5 1/6

V=7 x 3 x 5

1 answer

The correct method for solving this problem is:

V = 7 1/3 x 3 1/4 x 5 1/6

First, convert all the fractions to improper fractions:

V = 22/3 x 13/4 x 31/6

Then multiply the fractions:

V = (22 x 13 x 31) / (3 x 4 x 6)

V = 9026 / 72

V ≈ 125.36

Therefore, the volume of the rectangle or prism is approximately 125.36 cubic inches.
