A biologist uses a box-shaped fish trap that measures 1 fourth meter by 2 over 3meter by 3 over 5 meter. What is the volume of the trap in cubic meters?
(1/4)(2/3) (3/5) = 6 / 60 = 1/10 m^3
To find the volume of the fish trap, you need to multiply the length, width, and height of the trap.
In this case, the dimensions of the fish trap are given as 1 fourth meter by 2 over 3 meter by 3 over 5 meter.
First, let's convert the fractions to decimals:
1 fourth = 1/4 = 0.25
2 over 3 = 2/3 ≈ 0.6667
3 over 5 = 3/5 = 0.6
Now, we can calculate the volume by multiplying the length, width, and height:
Volume = length * width * height
Volume = 0.25 * 0.6667 * 0.6
Volume ≈ 0.1 cubic meters
Therefore, the volume of the fish trap is approximately 0.1 cubic meters.
