To find the volume of the shipping container, you can use the formula V = B x h, where B is the area of the base and h is the height.
First, find the area of the base:
Area = length x width
Area = 20 1/2 ft. x 12 1/4 ft.
Convert the mixed numbers to improper fractions:
20 1/2 = 41/2 ft.
12 1/4 = 49/4 ft.
Area = (41/2) x (49/4) = 200.75 ft²
Now, multiply the area of the base by the height:
Volume = 200.75 ft² x 8 1/4 ft.
Convert the mixed number to an improper fraction:
8 1/4 = 33/4 ft.
Volume = 200.75 ft² x 33/4 ft.
Volume = 669.75 ft³
Therefore, the volume of the shipping container is 669 3/4 ft³.
