Question

The base of a rectangular prism has an area of 13 2/3, and the height of the prism is 8 5/6. What is the volume of the prism? Be sure to use this format: whole number numerator/denominator.

Answer 1

Answer:

120 $\frac{13}{18}$

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula for finding the volume of a prism is:

V = Bh

You have to convert 13 $\frac{2}{3}$ into an improper fraction, like so:

$\frac{41}{3}$

Convert the other:

$\frac{53}{6}$

Multiply:

$\frac{41}{3}$ · $\frac{53}{6}$ = $\frac{2173}{18}$

Convert to mixed fraction:

120 $\frac{13}{18}$
