Final answer:

The volume of the cardboard box with dimensions of 1/2 foot by 1/7 foot by 1/3 foot is 1/42 cubic feet. You find this by multiplying the length, width, and height together.

Step-by-step explanation:

The volume of a cardboard box can be found by multiplying its length, width, and height together. The length, width, and height of the box given are 1/2 foot, 1/7 foot, and 1/3 foot, respectively. To calculate the volume of the box, we follow these steps:

  • Multiply the length (1/2 foot), width (1/7 foot), and height (1/3 foot) together.
  • The calculation will be (1/2) x (1/7) x (1/3) cubic feet.
  • When you multiply the numerators together and the denominators together, you get (1 x 1 x 1) / (2 x 7 x 3).
  • The result is 1/42 cubic feet.

This means the volume of the cardboard box is 1/42 cubic feet.
