ANSWER MY QUESTIONS DONT JOKE AROUND

A nature center has a fish tank in the shape of a rectangular prism. The tank is 10 feet long, 8 1/4 feet wide, and 6 feet tall.

What is the volume of the tank in cubic feet? Explain or show your reasoning.

Answer 1

I got 16.875 by first making 8 1/4 into a fraction without a while number and getting 9/32 then taking 10x9/32x6 and it came out to be 16.875. I don’t know for sure if that’s right

Answer 2

The volume of the fish tank is 495 cubic feet

Explanation:

The formula for a rectangular prism is length x width x height. 10 x 6 = 60 x 8.25 = 495
