It is because he multiplied the denominators incorrectly
Juan calculates the volume of a rectangular prism with dimensions of three by four feet by five feet by one half feet.
This is how he worked it out:
V = L.W.H
V = (3/4)(5/1)(1/2) = ((3)(5)(1)) / ((4)(1)(2)) = 15/6 = 2.5
Solving the Question:
Volume is calculated by:
V = L*W*H
where
Length is 3/4 ft
Width is 5/1 ft
Height is 1/2 ft
Hence find the volume:
Juan's product of the denominators was 6 but the correct answer is 8, so his answer was wrong.
