Question

A rectangular swimming pool is 19 meters long, 11 1/2 meters wide, and 1 1/2 meters deep. What is its volume?

Answer 1

Volume = length x breadth (width) x height

19m long --> length
11 1/2m wide --> width (aka breadth)
1 1/2m deep --> height

Volume = 19m x 11 1/2m x 1 1/2m = 327.75m²

Answer 2

Answer:

$327\frac{3}{4}$

Step-by-step explanation:

→ State the volume of a rectangular prism

Length × Width × Height

→ Substitute in the numbers

$19*11\frac{1}{2} *1\frac{1}{2}$

→ Convert to improper fractions

$\frac{19}{1} *\frac{23}{2} *\frac{3}{2}$

→ Multiply

$\frac{1311}{4}$

→ Convert to mixed fraction

$327\frac{3}{4}$
