Jamal needs to find the volume of a rectangular prism that has a height of 7 1/3 in., a length of 3 1/4 in., and a width of 5 1/6 in. Which option shows the correct method for solving this problem?(1 point)

Answer 1

Option A:

1. Multiply the height, length, and width: (7 1/3) * (3 1/4) * (5 1/6)
2. Convert all mixed numbers to improper fractions: 22/3 * 13/4 * 31/6
3. Multiply the fractions: (22 * 13 * 31) / (3 * 4 * 6)
4. Simplify the fraction: 22/1 = 22, 12/3 = 4, 31/3 = 11
5. Multiply the numerator and denominator: (22 * 13 * 31) / (1 * 4 * 3) = 22 * 13 * 11 / 12
6. Calculate the volume: 22 * 13 * 11 / 12 = 3146 / 12 = 262.17 cubic inches.

Therefore, the correct method for solving the problem is Option A.
