Question

What is the volume of a rectangular prism with a length of seven and a half meters a width of eight and four fifth meters and a height of ten and two fifth meters

Answer 1

To find the volume of a rectangular prism, you multiply its length, width, and height.

Volume = length x width x height
Volume = 7.5 x 8 4/5 x 10 2/5

Convert the mixed fractions to improper fractions:
8 4/5 = 8 + 4/5 = 40/5 + 4/5 = 44/5
10 2/5 = 10 + 2/5 = 50/5 + 2/5 = 52/5

Volume = 7.5 x 44/5 x 52/5
Volume = 7.5 x 44 x 52 / 5 x 5
Volume = 7.5 x 2288 / 25
Volume = 17160 / 25
Volume = 686.4 cubic meters

Therefore, the volume of the rectangular prism is 686.4 cubic meters.
