Find the volume in cubic feet of the right rectangular prism measuring 3 1/2 by 8 feet by 2 3/8 feet
V = L * W * H
V = (3 1/2) * 8 * (2 3/8)
V = 28 * (19/8)
V = 532 / 8
V = 66 1/2 cu. ft.
To find the volume of a right rectangular prism, you need to multiply its length by its width and then by its height.
In this case, the length is given as 3 1/2 feet. To convert it to an improper fraction, you multiply the whole number (3) by the denominator (2) and add the numerator (1). So, 3 1/2 feet can be represented as (3 * 2 + 1)/2 = 7/2 feet.
Similarly, the height is given as 2 3/8 feet, which is equal to (2 * 8 + 3)/8 = 19/8 feet.
Now, multiply the length (7/2 feet) by the width (8 feet) and then by the height (19/8 feet):
Volume = (7/2) * 8 * (19/8)
To simplify this fraction, you can cancel out the common factors:
(7/2) * (1) * (19/1) = 7 * 19 = 133
Therefore, the volume of the right rectangular prism is 133 cubic feet.
