Question

Christy and Seth are measuring water in a rectangular prism. They know the volume of the container. Christy suggests that they solve for the width of the prism. Transform the formula to find the volume of a rectangular prism to solve for width (w). Solve for w: V = lwh

Answer 1

d) V/(lh) = w

Explanation:

The appropriate solution divides the equation by the coefficient of w, which is lh. In answer selection (d), that is done by first dividing by l, then by h.
