First, we need to convert the dimensions to fractions for easier calculations:
Length = 20 1/2 ft = 41/2 ft
Width = 12 1/4 ft = 49/4 ft
Height = 8 1/4 ft = 33/4 ft
Now, use the formula V = B * h to find the volume:
V = (41/2 * 49/4) * 33/4
V = (205/4) * 33/4
V = 6755/16
Now, convert the improper fraction to a mixed number:
6755 ÷ 16 = 422 with a remainder of 7
So, the volume of the shipping container is 422 7/16 cubic feet.
