Question
In cubic feet, what is the volume of a toy box measuring 3 3/4 feet long, 2 1/2 feet wide, and 2 1/2 feet tall? Use the volume formula to solve. The answer will be a mixed fraction in cubic feet
To find the volume of the toy box, we use the formula:
Volume = Length x Width x Height
First, we convert all the dimensions to have a common denominator:
Length = 3 3/4 = 15/4
Width = 2 1/2 = 5/2
Height = 2 1/2 = 5/2
Now, we plug in these values into the formula:
Volume = (15/4) x (5/2) x (5/2)
Volume = 187.5/8
Volume = 23 3/8 cubic feet
Therefore, the volume of the toy box is 23 3/8 cubic feet.
