What is the volume, in cubic inches, of a rectangular prism with a height of 3 2/3 in., a length of 2 1/6 in., and a width of 1 1/2 in.? 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 = 3 2/3 = 3 + 2/3 = 9/3 + 2/3 = 11/3 in.
Length = 2 1/6 = 2 + 1/6 = 12/6 + 1/6 = 13/6 in.
Width = 1 1/2 = 1 + 1/2 = 2/2 + 1/2 = 3/2 in.
Volume = (11/3) * (13/6) * (3/2)
Volume = (143/6) * (3/2)
Volume = (143/2) * (1/2)
Volume = 143/4 in^3
The volume of the rectangular prism is 35 3/4 cubic inches, in simplest form.
