Just answering for a task
The best thing to do is to rewrite the fractions as decimals
-2/3 is approx. equal to -0.6666667
So a little past half way (to the left) between -1 and 0
1 1/5 is 1.5 so that is right between 1 and 2
Hope this helps :)
Parallelograms. Rectangles. Trapezoids.
The first thing you should do is calculate the volume of the prism.
We have then:
V = h * L ^ 2
Where,
L: side of the square base.
h: height.
Substituting we have:
V = (0.5) * (1) ^ 2 = 0.5 feet ^ 3.
Then, we can make the following rule of three:
1.5 feet ^ 3 ---> 6
0.5 feet ^ 3 ---> x
Clearing x we have:
x = (0.5 / 1.5) * (6) = 2 $
