Apply the for v=bxh , what is the volume of a rectangular prism with a height of 3 2/5ft., a length of 6 1/8ft., and a width 7 1/4 ft.
options:
44 13/32
157 150/160
150 157/160
16 13/40
To find the volume of a rectangular prism, you use the formula V = l x w x h, where l is the length, w is the width, and h is the height.
Given:
Length = 6 1/8 ft.
Width = 7 1/4 ft.
Height = 3 2/5 ft.
Convert all the mixed numbers to improper fractions:
Length = 6 1/8 = 49/8
Width = 7 1/4 = 29/4
Height = 3 2/5 = 17/5
Now, plug these values into the formula:
V = (49/8) x (29/4) x (17/5)
V = 150 157/160 ft³
Therefore, the volume of the rectangular prism is 150 157/160 ft³. So, the correct option is 150 157/160.
