What is the volume, in cubic feet, of a rectangular prism with a height of 2 1/2 ft., a length of 2 1/4 ft., and a width of 3 1/8 ft.? Your answer should be a mixed number in simplest form.

To find the volume of a rectangular prism, you multiply the height, length, and width together.
Height: 2 1/2 ft. = 2.5 ft.
Length: 2 1/4 ft. = 2.25 ft.
Width: 3 1/8 ft. = 3.125 ft.
Volume = 2.5 ft x 2.25 ft x 3.125 ft
Volume = 17.578125 ft³
Therefore, the volume of the rectangular prism is 17 9/16 ft³.
Apologies for the mistake. Let's try again.
Volume = height x length x width
Using the decimal values:
Volume = 2.5 ft x 2.25 ft x 3.125 ft
Volume = 14.0625 ft³
Now, let's convert the decimal volume to a mixed number in simplest form:
14.0625 ft³ = 14 1/16 ft³
So, the volume of the rectangular prism is 14 1/16 ft³.
