A storage container is in the shape of a rectangular prism, with a length of 3 1/5 feet, and width of 1 3/4 feet, and a height of 2 1/4 feet. What is the Containers volume?
To find the volume of the storage container, you need to multiply the length, width, and height.
First, let's convert the mixed numbers to improper fractions:
- Length: 3 1/5 = 16/5
- Width: 1 3/4 = 7/4
- Height: 2 1/4 = 9/4
Now, we can multiply:
Volume = (16/5) x (7/4) x (9/4)
Volume = (16 x 7 x 9) / (5 x 4 x 4)
Volume = 2016/80
Volume = 25.2
Therefore, the storage container has a volume of 25.2 cubic feet.
