Starr is trying to find the volume of her closet to see how much can fit inside. If the area of the floor is 10 square feet, and the closet is 6 1/2 feet tall, what is the volume in cubic feet?
The volume of the closet is 65 cubic feet.
To find the volume, we need to multiply the area of the floor by the height of the closet.
First, we need to convert the height to a mixed number:
6 1/2 feet = 6 + 1/2 feet = 12/2 + 1/2 feet = 13/2 feet
Now we can multiply:
10 square feet * 13/2 feet = 130/2 cubic feet = 65 cubic feet
Therefore, the volume of Starr's closet is 65 cubic feet.
To find the volume of the closet, you need to multiply the area of the floor by the height of the closet.
First, convert 6 1/2 feet to a mixed number or improper fraction. 6 1/2 is equal to 13/2 or 6.5.
Now, multiply the area of the floor (10 square feet) by the height of the closet (6.5 feet).
10 square feet * 6.5 feet = 65 cubic feet.
Therefore, the volume of Starr's closet is 65 cubic feet.
To find the volume of a closet, we multiply the area of the floor by the height of the closet. In this case, the area of the floor is given as 10 square feet, and the height of the closet is given as 6 1/2 feet.
To solve this problem, we need to convert the height of the closet to a decimal. We can do this by converting the mixed number 6 1/2 to an improper fraction. To do that, we multiply the whole number (6) by the denominator (2), and then add the numerator (1). This gives us 6 * 2 + 1 = 13/2.
Now, we can multiply the area of the floor (10 square feet) by the height of the closet (13/2 feet) to find the volume.
Volume = Area of the floor * Height of the closet
Volume = 10 square feet * 13/2 feet
To multiply fractions, we multiply the numerators together and the denominators together. So,
Volume = 10 * (13/2) square feet
Volume = 130/2 square feet
To simplify the fraction, we can divide both the numerator and denominator by their greatest common divisor, which is 2.
Volume = (130 ÷ 2) / (2 ÷ 2) square feet
Volume = 65 / 1 square feet
Volume = 65 square feet
Therefore, the volume of Starr's closet is 65 cubic feet.
