Answer:

The volume of the truck bed is
$1(17)/(40)\ m^(3)$

Explanation:

we know that

The volume is equal to

V=LWH

substitute the values , but first convert to an improper fractions

$L=1(9)/(10)\ m=(10*1+9)/(10)=(19)/(10)\ m$

$W=1(1)/(2)\ m=(1*2+1)/(2)=(3)/(2)\ m$

$H=(1)/(2)\ m$

Find the volume

$V=((19)/(10))((3)/(2))((1)/(2))=(57)/(40)\ m^(3)$

Convert to mixed number

$(57)/(40)\ m^(3)=(40)/(40)+(17)/(40)=1(17)/(40)\ m^(3)$
