Question
What is the volume, in cubic feet, of a rectangular prism with a length of 2 ft., a width of 4 1/6 ft., and a height of 8 1/2 ft.? Your answer should be a mixed number in simplest form.(1 point)
that was not the correct answer. do you know what the right answer is?
you still are not giving the correct answer
I apologize for the error in my previous calculations. Let's correct it again:
Given:
Length = 2 ft.
Width = 4 1/6 ft. = 25/6 ft.
Height = 8 1/2 ft. = 17/2 ft.
Volume = Length x Width x Height
Volume = 2 ft. x 25/6 ft. x 17/2 ft.
Volume = (2 x 25 x 17) / (6 x 2)
Volume = 850 / 12
Volume = 70.833...
Converting 0.833... into a fraction:
0.833... = 833/1000 = 25/30 = 5/6
Therefore, the volume of the rectangular prism is 70 5/6 cubic feet.
The volume of a rectangular prism is calculated by multiplying the length, width, and height together.
Volume = Length x Width x Height
Volume = 2 ft. x 4 1/6 ft. x 8 1/2 ft.
Volume = 2 ft. x 25/6 ft. x 17/2 ft.
Volume = (2 x 25 x 17) / (6 x 2)
Volume = 850 / 12
Volume = 70 5/12 ft.
Therefore, the volume of the rectangular prism is 70 5/12 cubic feet.
I apologize for the mistake in my calculation. Let me correct it:
Volume = Length x Width x Height
Given:
Length = 2 ft.
Width = 4 1/6 ft. = 25/6 ft.
Height = 8 1/2 ft. = 17/2 ft.
Volume = 2 ft. x 25/6 ft. x 17/2 ft.
Volume = (2 x 25 x 17) / (6 x 2)
Volume = 850 / 12
Volume = 70 10/12
Volume = 71 2/6
Volume = 71 1/3 ft.
Therefore, the volume of the rectangular prism is 71 1/3 cubic feet.
