Question

A biologist uses a box-shaped fish trap that measures 1/4meter by 2/3meter by 3/5meter. What is the volume of the trap in the cubic meters.

Answer 1

To find the volume of a box-shaped fish trap, we have to multiply the three dimensions of it: 

(1/4 m)* (2/3 m)* (3/5 m)

= (1*2*3)/ (4*3*5) m^(3)

= 6/ 60 m^(3)

= 1/10 m^(3)

= 0.1 m^(3)

The volume of the box-shaped fish trap is 0.1 m^(3).

Hope this is helpful~
