Question

A rectangular prism has a length of 2 1/2 centimeters, a width of 2 1/2 centimeters, and a height of 5 centimeters. Justin has a storage container for the prism that has a volume of 35 cubic centimeters.

Answer 1

the complete question in the attached figure

we know that
[volume of a rectangular prism]=L*W*H
where
L---------> is the length
W---------> is the width
H---------> is the height
L=2 1/2--------> (2*2+1)/2--------> 5/2 cm
W=2 1/2-------> 5/2 cm
H=5 cm
volume=(5/2)*(5/2)*5------> 125/4-------> 31.25 cm³

The difference between the volume of the prism and the volume of the storage container is
35-31.25=3.75 cm³

the answer is 3.75 cm³
