When you apply the volume formula, what is the volume, in a mixed fraction in cubic feet, of a rectangular shipping container that measures 7 1/2 ft. long, 2 1/2 ft. tall, and 2 1/2 ft wide? The answer will be a mixed fraction in cubic feet.(1 point)

Question

ft^3

Answer 1

To find the volume of the rectangular shipping container, we use the formula V = lwh, where l is the length, w is the width, and h is the height.

Plugging in the given values:
V = 7 1/2 ft * 2 1/2 ft * 2 1/2 ft
V = 15/2 ft * 5/2 ft * 5/2 ft
V = 75/4 ft^3

Now, we can simplify the mixed fraction:
75/4 = 18 3/4

So, the volume of the rectangular shipping container is 18 3/4 ft^3.
