The volume of a rectangular prism (such as a toy box) can be found using the formula V = l x w x h, where l is the length, w is the width, and h is the height.
Given:
l = 3 3/4 feet = 15/4 feet
w = 2 1/2 feet = 5/2 feet
h = 2 1/2 feet = 5/2 feet
V = (15/4) x (5/2) x (5/2)
V = (75/8) cubic feet
To simplify the fraction, we divide the numerator by the denominator:
75 ÷ 8 = 9 with a remainder of 3
So, the mixed fraction is 9 3/8 cubic feet.
In cubic feet, what is the volume of a toy box measuring 3 3/4 feet long, 2 1/2 feet wide, and 2 1/2 feet tall? Use the volume formula to solve. The answer will be a mixed fraction in cubic feet.
