Question

Calculate the volume of the right rectangular prism shown. Edulastic Question

Answer 1

since we have the area of the front side, to get its volume we can simple get the product of the area and the length, let's firstly change the mixed fractions to improper fractions.

$\stackrel{mixed}{23\frac{2}{3}}\implies \cfrac{23\cdot 3+2}{3}\implies \stackrel{improper}{\cfrac{71}{3}} ~\hfill \stackrel{mixed}{4\frac{7}{8}}\implies \cfrac{4\cdot 8+7}{8}\implies \stackrel{improper}{\cfrac{39}{8}} \\\\[-0.35em] ~\dotfill\\\\ \cfrac{71}{3}\cdot \cfrac{39}{8}\implies \cfrac{71}{8}\cdot \cfrac{39}{3}\implies \cfrac{71}{8}\cdot 13\implies \cfrac{923}{8}\implies 115\frac{3}{8}~in^3$
