(1/2)×(3/4)×(2/5)=5/40=1/8

as a decimal, this is .125
for scientific notation, you must move the decimal one place to the right, so the answer is

1.25×10^-1 ft^3

Answer:
1.5*10^(-1)\ ft^3

Explanation:

Given : The volume of a box is found by multiplying its length, width, and height.

If the three sides are 0.5 foot, 0.75 foot, and 0.4 foot.

Then, the product will be :


\text{Volume}=0.5*0.75*0.4\\\\=0.15=1.5*10^(-1)\ ft^3\ \ \text{In scientific notation.}

Hence, the product =
1.5*10^(-1)\ ft^3
