Answer 1

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

Volume = length x width x height

Volume = (2 1/4 ft.) x (3 1/8 ft.) x (2 1/2 ft.)
Volume = (9/4 ft.) x (25/8 ft.) x (5/2 ft.)
Volume = (45/8 ft.) x (25/8 ft.)
Volume = 1125/64 cubic feet

As a mixed number in simplest form, the volume is:
17 33/64 cubic feet.
