To find the volume of a rectangular prism, you multiply the length, width, and height together.
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 29/64 cubic feet
Therefore, the volume of the rectangular prism is 17 29/64 cubic feet.
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.

SIMPLEST !!!
Apologies for the oversight. Here's the answer in simplest form:
Volume = 17 29/64 cubic feet
Therefore, the volume of the rectangular prism is 17 29/64 cubic feet.
Volume = 17 29/64 cubic feet
Therefore, the volume of the rectangular prism is 17 29/64 cubic feet.
6TH GRADE APPROPRIATE
Sure! Let's simplify the answer further for a 6th-grade level.
Volume = 17 29/64 cubic feet
To convert this into a mixed number:
64 goes into 29, 0 times with a remainder of 29
So, 29/64 cannot be simplified further.
Therefore, the volume of the rectangular prism is 17 29/64 cubic feet.
