The volume of a rectangular prism is calculated by multiplying the length, width, and height.
Volume = Length x Width x Height
Volume = (7 1/2) x (2 1/2) x (2 1/2)
Volume = (15/2) x (5/2) x (5/2)
Volume = (15 x 5 x 5) / (2 x 2 x 2)
Volume = 375 / 8
Volume = 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.(1 point)
