Question

What is the volume of a shipping cube with dimensions of 2 1/2 feet

Answer 1

Volume =
`15 (5)/(8)ft^(3)`

Explanation:

V = Volume

L = Length

W = Width

H = Height

S = Side

V = L * W * H

In this case, it is a cube. The length, width, and height of a cube are all the same. So, our equation can be:

V = S * S * S

S = 2 and 1/2

V =
`15 (5)/(8) = 2(1)/(2) * 2(1)/(2) * 2(1)/(2)`

`Volume = 15 (5)/(8)ft^(3)`

Answer 2

15.625 feet cubed

Explanation:

You multiply 2.5 times 2.5 times 2.5 to get 15.625 feet cubed
