Question

Item 18

Answer 1

A mixed number in simplest form, in the box is 40  5/8 cm^3.

We have given that,

The figure contains a right rectangular prism. The length of the prism is labeled 6 and one-half centimeters, the width is labeled 2 and one-half centimeters, and the height is labeled 2 and one-half centimeters.

What is the volume of the prism?

The figure is a rectangular prism, so the formula would be Volume = length x width x height.

length = 6 .5cm

width  =  2.5cm

height  =  2.5cm

If you plug everything you have in the problem into the volume equation, you would get

volume = 6.5cm x 2.5cm x 2.5 cm.

Without a calculator first, turn the mixed numbers into improper fractions.

6 .5=13/2

2.5 = 5/2

Volume = 13/2  x 5/2   x 5/2

When you multiply everything together you should get.

As a mixed number, that would be 40 5/8.
