1275 Cubic feet.
Multiply the length width and height to get eh volume of a rectangular prism
20*7.5*8.5 = 1275 cu ft.

Volume of any crate can be found by multiplying length , width and height.

It is given:A shipping crate carrying e-readers has a length of 20 feet, a width of 7
(1)/(2). feet and height of 8
(1)/(2). feet .

Volume = Length x width x height.

Substituting the values : Volume = 20 x
7(1)/(2)times 8(1)/(2).

= 20 x
(15)/(2).(17)/(2).

=
(5100)/(4).=1275.

Volume of Crate is 1275 cubic feet.
