Using the formula volume equals base times height what is the volume of a rectangular prism with the length of 7 1/4 m a width of 10 1/2 m and a height of 12 2/5 meters the answer will be a mixed fraction in cubic meters

Answer 1

To solve this problem, we'll need to first convert all the mixed fractions to improper fractions:

7 1/4 = 29/4

10 1/2 = 21/2

12 2/5 = 62/5

Now we can use the formula V = bh to find the volume of the rectangular prism:

V = (29/4)(21/2)(62/5)

V = (841/20)(62/5)

V = 5202/100

Now we can simplify this mixed fraction by dividing the numerator by the denominator:

V = 52 2/5 cubic meters

Therefore, the volume of the rectangular prism is 52 2/5 cubic meters.
