A storage container is in the shape of a rectangular prism, with a length of 3 1/5 feet, width of 1 3/4 feet, and a height of 2 1/4 feet. What is the containers volume?
That's odd, wonder what algorithm the bot (AI) is using to multiply but I, as a human, doing it the ancient way get :
(16/5) x (7/4) x (9/4)
= 63/5
= 12.6
To find the volume of a rectangular prism, you multiply its length, width, and height.
Given that the length is 3 1/5 feet, we can convert it to an improper fraction: 3 1/5 = (5*3 + 1)/5 = 16/5 feet.
Similarly, the width is 1 3/4 feet, which can be converted to an improper fraction as: 1 3/4 = (4*1 + 3)/4 = 7/4 feet.
Lastly, the height is 2 1/4 feet, which can be converted to an improper fraction as: 2 1/4 = (4*2 + 1)/4 = 9/4 feet.
Now, we can calculate the volume of the storage container by multiplying the length, width, and height:
Volume = length * width * height = (16/5 feet) * (7/4 feet) * (9/4 feet).
To simplify, we can multiply the numerators together and the denominators together:
Volume = (16 * 7 * 9) / (5 * 4 * 4) = 1008 / 80 = 12.6 feet^3.
Therefore, the volume of the storage container is 12.6 cubic feet.
To find the volume of a rectangular prism, you need to multiply its length, width, and height.
In this case, the length is 3 1/5 feet. To work with mixed numbers more easily, you can convert it into an improper fraction. To do this, multiply the whole number (3) by the denominator (5) and then add the numerator (1). This gives you (3 * 5) + 1 = 15 + 1 = 16. So, the length is equal to 16/5 feet.
Similarly, the width is 1 3/4 feet. Converting it into an improper fraction, you get (1 * 4) + 3 = 4 + 3 = 7. So, the width is equal to 7/4 feet.
The height is 2 1/4 feet, which can be converted into an improper fraction as (2 * 4) + 1 = 8 + 1 = 9. So, the height is equal to 9/4 feet.
Now, to find the volume, multiply the length, width, and height:
(16/5) * (7/4) * (9/4) = (16 * 7 * 9) / (5 * 4 * 4) = 1008 / 80 = 12.6 feet.
Therefore, the volume of the storage container is 12.6 cubic feet.
To find the volume of the rectangular prism, we need to multiply its length, width, and height.
Length = 3 1/5 feet = 16/5 feet
Width = 1 3/4 feet = 7/4 feet
Height = 2 1/4 feet = 9/4 feet
Volume = length x width x height
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 cubic feet
Therefore, the container's volume is 25.2 cubic feet.
