Answer 1

The volume formula for a rectangular prism is:

Volume = length x width x height

Plugging in the measurements given:

Volume = 3 3/4 x 2 1/2 x 2 1/2

To multiply mixed numbers, convert them to improper fractions:

Volume = 15/4 x 5/2 x 5/2
Volume = (15 x 5 x 5) / (4 x 2 x 2)
Volume = 375 / 16

Now, convert the improper fraction back to a mixed fraction:

375 ÷ 16 = 23 with a remainder of 7

So, the volume of the toy box is 23 7/16 cubic feet.
