A rectangular prism has a length of 8 inches and width of 7 1/2 inches And a height of 6 1/4 inches. What is the volume of the prism
The volume of a rectangular prism is calculated by multiplying its length, width, and height.
V = length x width x height
In this case, the length is 8 inches, the width is 7 1/2 inches (which can be written as 15/2 inches), and the height is 6 1/4 inches (which can be written as 25/4 inches).
V = 8 x 15/2 x 25/4
Simplifying and multiplying:
V = (8 x 15 x 25) / (2 x 4 x 4)
V = 750 / 8
V = 93.75 cubic inches
Therefore, the volume of the rectangular prism is 93.75 cubic inches.
