Starr is trying to find the volume of her closet to see how much can fit inside. If the area of the floor is 10 square feet, and the closet is 6 1/2 feet tall, what is the volume in cubic feet?

Answer 1

The volume of the closet is 65 cubic feet.

To find the volume, we need to multiply the area of the floor by the height of the closet.

First, we need to convert the height to a mixed number:

6 1/2 feet = 6 + 1/2 feet = 12/2 + 1/2 feet = 13/2 feet

Now we can multiply:

10 square feet * 13/2 feet = 130/2 cubic feet = 65 cubic feet

Therefore, the volume of Starr's closet is 65 cubic feet.
