Question

rectangular prism has a length of 2/12 meters, a width of 4 meters, and a height of 2/14 meters. What is the volume of the prism?

Answer 1

The easiest way to do this, is to go ahead and convert our fractions to decimals, meaning we divide 2 by 12, and 2 by 14. This helps us have all our measurements in the same form so we can just plug them into our formula.
$\frac{2}{12} =.16$
$\frac{2}{14} =.14$
The formula for a rectangular prism is really easy:
V=L*W*H
Volume=Length times Width times Height.
.16*4*.14= 0.09 (Roughly)
Please keep in mind I only used the tenths, and hundredths place; the actual answers are much longer.
