find volume in cubic feet of right rectangular prism 3 1/2ft, 8 ft, 2 3/8
V = l * w * h
To find the volume of a right rectangular prism, you need to multiply its length, width, and height. In this case, the dimensions are given in mixed number and fraction form, which we can convert to improper fractions and decimals for easier calculations.
First, let's convert the mixed number and fraction to improper fractions:
3 1/2 becomes (3 * 2 + 1) / 2 = 7/2
2 3/8 becomes (2 * 8 + 3) / 8 = 19/8
Now, we can calculate the volume by multiplying the dimensions:
Volume = length * width * height
Volume = (7/2 ft) * (8 ft) * (19/8 ft)
Volume = (7/2) * 8 * (19/8)
Volume = (7 * 8 * 19) / (2 * 8)
Volume = 1064 / 16
Volume = 66.5 cubic feet
Therefore, the volume of the right rectangular prism is 66.5 cubic feet.
