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.
Given:
Length (l) = 7 ½ ft = 7 + 1/2 = 15/2 ft
Height (h) = 2 ½ ft = 2 + 1/2 = 5/2 ft
Width (w) = 2 ft
Volume (V) = (15/2) * 5/2 * 2
V = (15 * 5 * 2) / (2 * 2)
V = 150 / 4
V = 37 ½ ft³
Therefore, the volume of the rectangular shipping container is 37 ½ 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 7½ ½ ft. long, 2½½ ft. tall, and
2
ft wide? The answer will be a mixed fraction in cubic feet. (1 point)
