Find the volume of a rectangular prism with length of 3 ½, a width of 4 ½ ft, and a height of 5 ½ ft

Answer 1

To find the volume of a rectangular prism, you multiply the length, width, and height together.

First, convert the mixed numbers to improper fractions:
3 1/2 = 7/2, 4 1/2 = 9/2, 5 1/2 = 11/2

Now, multiply the dimensions together:
Volume = (7/2) * (9/2) * (11/2)
Volume = (63/4) * (11/2)
Volume = 693/8
Volume = 86.625 ft^3

Therefore, the volume of the rectangular prism is 86.625 cubic feet.
