In cubic feet, what is the volume of a toy box measuring 3 /34 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 can use the formula
Volume = length x width x height
Given that the length is 3 3/4 feet, the width is 2 1/2 feet, and the height is 2 1/2 feet, we can plug in these values into the formula:
Volume = (3 3/4) x (2 1/2) x (2 1/2)
First, we need to convert all the mixed numbers into improper fractions:
3 3/4 = 15/4
2 1/2 = 5/2
2 1/2 = 5/2
Now we can multiply these fractions:
Volume = (15/4) x (5/2) x (5/2)
Volume = (15*5*5) / (4*2*2)
Volume = 375 / 16
Next, we convert the improper fraction back to a mixed fraction:
375 ÷ 16 = 23 R 7
Therefore, the volume of the toy box is 23 7/16 cubic feet.
good job but the answer has to replace the ? in this:
? ft.^3
Apologies for the oversight.
Therefore, the volume of the toy box is 23 7/16 cubic feet.
So, the volume of the toy box is 23 7/16 ft^3.
