Using the formula of V equals B times H what is the volume of a rectangle prism with a width of 3 1/4 inch a length of 5 1/8 inch in a height of 7 3/8 inch. Your answer should be a mixed number in the simplest form.
First, convert all the measurements to improper fractions:
Width: 3 1/4 = 13/4 inch
Length: 5 1/8 = 41/8 inch
Height: 7 3/8 = 59/8 inch
Now, use the formula V = B x H to calculate the volume:
V = (13/4) x (41/8) x (59/8)
V = 13 x 41 x 59 / 4 x 8 x 8
V = 31,987 / 256
V = 125 107/256
The volume of the rectangle prism is 125 107/256 cubic inches.
