What is the volume, in cubic feet, of a rectangular prism with a length of 2 ft., a width of 4 1/6 ft., and a height of 8 1/2 ft.? Your answer should be a mixed number in simplest form.(1 point)
ft.3
The volume of a rectangular prism is calculated by multiplying the length, width, and height together.
Volume = length x width x height
Volume = 2 ft. x 4 1/6 ft. x 8 1/2 ft.
Volume = 2 ft. x 25/6 ft. x 17/2 ft.
Volume = 50/6 ft. x 17/2 ft.
Volume = 850/12 ft.
Volume = 70 5/12 ft.3
Therefore, the volume of the rectangular prism is 70 5/12 cubic feet.
