To find the volume of a rectangular shipping container, you use the formula V = l x w x h, where l is the length, w is the width, and h is the height.
Using the given measurements:
l = 7 1/2 ft = 15/2 ft
w = 2 1/2 ft = 5/2 ft
h = 2 1/2 ft = 5/2 ft
V = (15/2) x (5/2) x (5/2)
V = (15 x 5 x 5) / (2 x 2 x 2)
V = 375 / 8
V = 46 7/8 cubic feet
Therefore, the volume of the rectangular shipping container is 46 7/8 cubic feet.
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.
