How do I find the volume of a box?
Length = 8 in
Width= 1 3/4 in.
Height= 12 1/8 in.
V = L*W*H
V = 8 * 1.75 * 12.125
Is this correct?
169.75
Yes.
169.75 cubic inches
To find the volume of a box, you need to multiply its length, width, and height together.
In this case, the length is given as 8 inches, the width is given as 1 3/4 (which is equivalent to 7/4) inches, and the height is given as 12 1/8 (which is equivalent to 97/8) inches.
Now, let's calculate the volume of the box:
Volume = Length x Width x Height
= 8 in x (7/4) in x (97/8) in
To simplify this calculation, we can cancel out some common factors:
- The numerator 8 and the denominator 4 can be divided by 4 to get 2.
- The numerator 97 and the denominator 8 have no common factors.
So, the calculation becomes:
Volume = 2 in x 7/1 x 97/8
Now, multiply the numbers together:
Volume = 2 x 7 x 97 / 1 x 1 x 8
= 1,358 / 8
= 169.75 in³
Therefore, the volume of the box is 169.75 cubic inches.
