Question

A carton has a length of 2 and 1 over 4 feet, width of 1 and 3 over 5 feet, and height of 2 and 1 over 3 feet. What is the volume of the carton?

Answer 1

Simplest way to approach this is to convert each fraction into improper fractions, then multiply them together. For instance:

`2 (1)/(4) = (9)/(4)`
Simply do this for each set of fraction, and then multiply them all together and simplify the result as much as possible. You can even change it back to a "proper" fraction if you want.
