A storage container is in the shape of a rectangular prism, with a length of 3 1/5 feet, width of 1 3/4 feet, and a height of 2 1/4 feet. What is the containers volume?

Answer 1

To find the volume of the rectangular prism, we need to multiply its length, width, and height.

Length = 3 1/5 feet = 16/5 feet
Width = 1 3/4 feet = 7/4 feet
Height = 2 1/4 feet = 9/4 feet

Volume = length x width x height
Volume = (16/5) x (7/4) x (9/4)
Volume = (16 x 7 x 9) / (5 x 4 x 4)
Volume = 2016 / 80
Volume = 25.2 cubic feet

Therefore, the container's volume is 25.2 cubic feet.

Answer 2

That's odd, wonder what algorithm the bot (AI) is using to multiply but I, as a human, doing it the ancient way get :

(16/5) x (7/4) x (9/4)
= 63/5
= 12.6
