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)
ft.3
The volume formula for a rectangular container is V = lwh, where l is the length, w is the width, and h is the height.
Plugging in the values given:
V = (7 1/2)(2 1/2)(2 1/2)
V = (15/2)(5/2)(5/2)
V = (75/4)(5/2)
V = 375/8
V = 46 7/8 ft³
Therefore, the volume of the rectangular shipping container is 46 7/8 ft³.
