What is the volume, in cubic inches, of a rectangular prism with a height of 3/23 in., a length of 2/16 in., and a width of 1/12 in.? Your answer should be a mixed number in simplest form.(1 point)
To find the volume of a rectangular prism, you multiply the length, width, and height together.
Volume = length x width x height
Volume = (2/16) x (1/12) x (3/23)
First, simplify the fractions:
Volume = (1/8) x (1/12) x (3/23)
Volume = 1/96 x 3/23
Next, multiply the fractions:
Volume = (1 x 3) / (96 x 23)
Volume = 3 / 2208
The volume of the rectangular prism is 3/2208 cubic inches.
Or, if you prefer, you can convert it to a mixed number:
3/2208 = 0 3/2208 cubic inches.
