Step-by-step explanation:

Hello, I can help you with this

You can easily solve this by using a rule of three.

Step 1

define

the top section has a volume of 3/8 of the entire refrigerator.

if the entire refrigerator has a volume of 1, the bottom section has a volume of

Volume of bottom section=1-(3/8)

Volume of bottom section=5/8

Step 2

to find the entire volume use the rule of three

if

(5/8) of the entire volume ⇔30 cubic feet

(1) entire volume                 ⇔x cubic feet

$\frac{5/8}{30\ cubic\ feet}=\frac{1}{x} \\\\\\ isolating\ x\\\\x=\frac{30\ cubic\ feet}{5/8} \\x=48 cubic feet$  

the entire volume is 48 cubic feet.

Have a great day.
