Using the formula V=B×h , what is the volume of a rectangular prism with a width of 3 1/4 in., a length of 5 1/8 in., and a height of 7 3/8 in.? Your answer should be a mixed number in simplest form
To find the volume of a rectangular prism, you need to multiply the length (L), width (W), and height (H) together.
Given:
Width (W) = 3 1/4 in. = 13/4 in.
Length (L) = 5 1/8 in. = 41/8 in.
Height (H) = 7 3/8 in. = 59/8 in.
Volume (V) = L x W x H
Volume = (41/8) x (13/4) x (59/8)
Volume = (41 x 13 x 59) / (8 x 4 x 8)
Volume = 30907 / 256
Volume = 120.6953125 in³
So, the volume of the rectangular prism is 120 139/256 in³.
