What is the volume, in cubic feet, of a rectangular prism with a height of 2 1/2 ft., a length of 2 1/4 ft., and a width of 3 1/8 ft.? Your answer should be a mixed number in simplest form.(1 point)

Answer 1

The volume of a rectangular prism is found by multiplying the length, width, and height.

Volume = length x width x height
Volume = (2 1/4) x (3 1/8) x (2 1/2)
Volume = 9/4 x 25/8 x 5/2
Volume = (9 x 25 x 5) / (4 x 8 x 2)
Volume = 1125 / 64
Volume = 17 37/64 cubic feet

Therefore, the volume of the rectangular prism is 17 37/64 cubic feet.
