Find the volume of a cube with edges of 2 2/3 inches.

1 answer

To find the volume of a cube, you need to cube the length of one of its edges.

In this case, the length of each edge is 2 2/3 inches.

To convert this to an improper fraction, multiply the whole number (2) by the denominator (3) and add the numerator (2), then put it over the denominator:

(2 x 3 + 2) / 3 = 8/3

Now, cube the fraction to find the volume:

(8/3)^3 = (8^3) / (3^3) = 512 / 27

Therefore, the volume of the cube is 512/27 cubic inches.
