Question

A carton has a length of fraction 2 and 2 over 3 feet, width of fraction 1 and 1 over 3 feet, and height of fraction 1 and 1 over 2 feet. What is the volume of the carton?

A- 4 cubic feet

B- fraction 5 and 1 over 3 cubic feet

C- 6 cubic feet

D- fraction 6 and 1 over 3 cubic feet

Answer 1

Answer: 5 1/3

Explanation:

So, to find the volume, you need to multiply the width. height. and length.

First, lets multiply 2 2/3 and 1 1/3.

8 * 4 = 32. 3 * 3 = 9. 32/9 = 3 5/9

3 5/9 * 1 1/2 = 96/18 = 5 1/3

Answer 2

5 1/3ft³

Explanation:

Given the dimension of the carton below;

Length = 2 2/3feet

Width = 1 1/3feets

Height = 1 1/2feets

Since the object is a carton, a carton is cuboid in shape and the formula for finding the volume of a cuboid is length × width × height

V = L×W×H

V = 2 2/3× 1 1/3 × 1 1/2

Volume = 8/3×4/3×3/2

Volume of the carton = 96/18ft³

Volume of the carton = 16/3ft³

In mixed fraction, the volume of the carton will be 5 1/3ft³
