To Find Surface Area:
So Surface area is found according to this equation SA=2lw+2lh+2hw
6and 1/2 times 2 is 13 that would be the 2 sides
then you do 3 times 6 1/2 which is 19 1/2, which is the top and bottom
finally you do 3 times 9 1/5 which is 27 3/5.
Now since 1/2 and 1/5 are not the same, we find the LCM or Least Common Multiple, which is 10 so 1/2 is multiplied by 5 which is 5/10 and 3/5 is multiplied by 2 which makes 6/10.
Adding 5/10 and 6/10 is 11/10 or 1 1/10
13+6+9=28
28+1 1/10 = 29 1/10
and finally because we did surface area it is 29 1/10 CM^2

To Find Volume:
The Equation used to find volume is l*w*h
The Length is 6 1/2
Height is 9 1/5
width is 3
First, lets again convert the fractions
5/10 and 6/10
6 5/10 times 9 6/10 is 62.4
62.4 times 3 is 187.2
The .2 and be put into 2/10 or 1/5 so the FINAL answer is 187 1/5
Another way to check this is
6*9*3=162
1/5*1/2
Hope this helped :)

Katie won't have more than 100 shells until the 7th day
.9 1/2 cups is equal to 19/4. divide 19 by 3 (the 3 from 3/4) and you get 6 1/4. Skylar can make 6 batches with this one bag of sugar.
