B. 4 7/8 x 5 x 12 1/2
To calculate the volume of a rectangular prism, you need to multiply the length, width, and height of the prism. In this case, the length is 4 7/8 inches, the width is 5 inches, and the height is 12 1/2 inches.
Therefore, the calculation for the volume of the prism is:
4 7/8 x 5 x 12 1/2 = 24 7/8 x 12 1/2 = 31.125 cubic inches
The base of a prism is a rectangle. The length of the rectangle is 4 7/8
inches, and the width of the rectangle is 5 inches. The height of the prism is 12 1/2
inches. Which calculation gives the volume of the prism?
A. 4 7/8 + 5 + 12 1/2
B. 4 7/8 x 5 x 12 1/2
C. (2 x 4 7/8) + (2 x 5) + ( 2 x 12 1/2 )
D. (2 x 4 7/8 x 5) + 2 x 5 x 12 1/2) + 2 x 3 7/8 x 12 1/2)
