Question

What is the volume of a rectangular prism with the dimensions: base 2 3 /8 cm, height 1 1/3 cm, and length 3 3 /4 cm?

Answer 1

Answer: 11.84 cm³

Step-by-step explanation:

1. Let's rewrite the given dimensions (expressed as mixed numbers) as decimals. Divide the numerator by the denominator of the fractional part and add the result to whole number part. Then:

$2^\frac{3}{8}cm=(2+0.375)cm=2.375cm\\1^\frac{1}{3}=(1+0.333)cm=1.333cm\\3^\frac{3}{4}=(3+0.75)cm=3.75cm$

2. Then, to calculate the volume you must multiply its dimensions. Therefore, you obtain the following result:

$V=2.375cm*3.75cm*1.33cm\\V=11.84cm^{3}$

Answer 2
