Answer:

Volume of the carton = 43 3/4 feet ³

Explanation:

Volume of the carton = length × width × height

length = 2 1/2 feet

width = 3 1/2 feet

height = 5 feet

Volume of the carton = length × width × height

= 2 1/2 feet × 3 1/2 feet × 5 feet

= 5/2 × 7/2 × 5

= (5*7*5) / (2*2)

= 175 / 4

= 43 3/4 feet ³

Volume of the carton = 43 3/4 feet ³
