Using the formula V = B x h, what is the volume of a rectangular prism with a length of 7 1/4 m, a width of 10 1/2 m, and a height of 12 2/5 m? Your answer should be should be a mixed number in simplest form.

Answer 1

First, we need to convert all the measurements to improper fractions:
Length: 7 1/4 = 29/4
Width: 10 1/2 = 21/2
Height: 12 2/5 = 62/5

Now, we can plug the values into the formula V = B x h:
V = (29/4) x (21/2) x (62/5)
V = (29 x 21 x 62) / (4 x 2 x 5)
V = 12138 / 40
V = 303.45

Therefore, the volume of the rectangular prism is 303 9/20 m³.
