Question

A box measures 6 inches by 2 inches by 3 inches. Find the volume of the box in cubic feet. Enter your answer as a fraction.

Answer 1

The measurements are in inches but the answer needs to be in feet, so we'll convert the numbers to feet first.

6"=1/2 ft
2"=1/6 ft
3"=1/4 ft

V=l×w×h
V=1/2*1/6*1/4
V=1/48 cubic ft
