Question

The volume of a box is found by multiplying its length, width, and height. The three sides are 0.5 foot, 0.75 foot, and 0.4 foot. Find the product. Write it in scientific notation

Answer 1

(1/2)×(3/4)×(2/5)=5/40=1/8

as a decimal, this is .125
for scientific notation, you must move the decimal one place to the right, so the answer is

1.25×10^-1 ft^3

Answer 2

Answer: $1.5\times10^{-1}\ ft^3$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : The volume of a box is found by multiplying its length, width, and height.

If the three sides are 0.5 foot, 0.75 foot, and 0.4 foot.

Then, the product will be :

$\text{Volume}=0.5\times0.75\times0.4\\\\=0.15=1.5\times10^{-1}\ ft^3\ \ \text{In scientific notation.}$

Hence, the product =$1.5\times10^{-1}\ ft^3$
