Question

A workbox has the following interior dimensions:

length – 4 in.
width – 2½ in.
height – 3½ in.
What is the interior volume?

Answer 1

35 square inches. To find volume measure length by width by height

Answer 2

the interior volume is 35 cubic inches

Explanation:

Hello , I can help you with this.

to find the volume of the workbox you must multiply its dimensions,it is

Volume=length*width*height

also, you need convert the mixed number into fraction numbers

remember

`a(b)/(c)=(ac+b)/(c)\\`

Step 1

convert the mixed numbers into fraction numbers

length

4 inches=4 inches

width

`2(1)/(2)\ inches= (2*2+1)/(2)\ inches=(5)/(2)\ inches \\`

height

`3(1)/(2)\ inches= (3*2+1)/(2)\ inches=(7)/(2)\ inches \\`

Step 2

put the values into the equation

Volume=length*width*height

remember the unit( in)

`Volume=(4)/(1) *(5)/(2)*(7)/(2)\\Volume= (4*5*7)/(1*2*2)\\ Volume=(140)/(4) \\Volume=35\\`

in*in*in= cubic in

so, the interior volume is 35 cubic inches

have a nice day.
