Question

What is the maximum volume of water a hamster bath could hold with a deph of 1 2/3 , a length of 2 1/3 inches and width of 2 inches.

Answer 1

`7(7)/(9)in^(3)`

Explanation:

Volume of a prism can be found using the general formula:

V = l x w x h, where l = length, w = width and h = height

Given the dimensions of l =
`2(1)/(3)in`; w =
`2in` and h =
`1(2)/(3)in`, you can first convert your mixed numbers to improper fractions and then multiply.

`2(1)/(3)in`=
`(5)/(3)`

`1(2)/(3)in`=
`(7)/(3)`

V =
`(5)/(3)*(7)/(3)*(2)/(1)=(70)/(9)=7(7)/(9)in^(3)`
