In cubic feet what is the volume of a toy box measuring 3 3/4 ft London, 2 1/2 ft wide. And 2 1/2 ft talking? Use the volume formula to solve. Answer will be a mixed fraction in cubic feet

1 answer

To find the volume of the toy box, we will use the formula for the volume of a rectangular prism, which is:

Volume = Length x Width x Height

Given:
Length = 3 3/4 ft
Width = 2 1/2 ft
Height = 2 1/2 ft

Convert all measurements to fractions:
Length = 3 3/4 ft = 15/4 ft
Width = 2 1/2 ft = 5/2 ft
Height = 2 1/2 ft = 5/2 ft

Now, substitute these values into the volume formula:

Volume = (15/4) x (5/2) x (5/2)
Volume = 75/8 cubic feet

Now, simplify the fraction:
75/8 = 9 3/8

Therefore, the volume of the toy box is 9 3/8 cubic feet.
