What is the volume of a rectangular prism with a length of 7 1/2 m, a width of 8 4/5 m, and a height of 10 2/5 m? Your answer should be a mixed number in simplest form. Do not round your answer. Do NOT label your answer.

Answer 1

Our first step is to convert all the measurements to improper fractions:

Length: 7 1/2 m = 15/2 m
Width: 8 4/5 m = 44/5 m
Height: 10 2/5 m = 52/5 m

Volume = (15/2) * (44/5) * (52/5)
Volume = (330/10) * (52/5)
Volume = 17160/50
Volume = 858/5

Therefore, the volume of the rectangular prism is 858/5.
