The volume of a rectangular prism is calculated by multiplying the length, width, and height together.
Volume = length x width x height
Volume = 2 ft. x 4 1/3 ft. x 8 1/2 ft.
Volume = 2 ft. x 13/3 ft. x 17/2 ft.
Volume = 2 x 13 x 17 / 3 x 2
Volume = 442 / 6
Volume = 221 / 3
Therefore, the volume of the rectangular prism is 221/3 cubic feet, which is equal to 73 2/3 cubic feet in mixed number form.
What is the volume, in cubic feet, of a rectangular prism with a length of 2 ft., a width
of 4 1/3 ft., and a height of 8½½ ft.? Your answer should be a mixed number in simplest
form. (1 point)
