Question

A box has the following measurements:SuccessLength = 8 cmWidth = 4.2 cmHeight = 3.1 cmThe volume of the box is calculated as length times width times height.Complete the statements to find the box's volume.1. First multiply length times width. Show your work and explain how you placed thedecimal point.2. To find the volume of the box, you'll multiply the product you just calculated by theheight of the box. How many digits will the volume have after the decimal point? Explain3. Find the volume of the box. Multiply the product of the length and the width thatyou found earlier by the height, 3.1. Show your work.

Answer 1

1. Multiply length times width as if they were integer number:

Now place the decimal point. To do it we have to keep in mind that the result will have as many decimals as the sum of the decimals of each number. In this case, only the width had one decimal, it means that the result will only have one decimal:
