Answer: carton is 8.4 cubic feet.
504/60 in factions
Explanation:
To find the volume of the carton, we need to multiply its length, width, and height together.
Given that the length of the carton is 2 1/4 feet, the width is 1 3/5 feet, and the height is 2 1/3 feet, we can convert these mixed numbers to improper fractions for easier calculations.
Converting 2 1/4 to an improper fraction:
2 1/4 = (2 * 4 + 1) / 4 = 9/4
Converting 1 3/5 to an improper fraction:
1 3/5 = (1 * 5 + 3) / 5 = 8/5
Converting 2 1/3 to an improper fraction:
2 1/3 = (2 * 3 + 1) / 3 = 7/3
Now, we can multiply the three fractions together to find the volume:
Volume = (9/4) * (8/5) * (7/3)
To simplify the multiplication, we can cancel out common factors across the numerators and denominators:
Volume = (9 * 8 * 7) / (4 * 5 * 3)
Simplifying further, we get:
Volume = 504 / 60
Dividing 504 by 60, we find:
Volume = 8.4
Therefore, the volume of the carton is 8.4 cubic feet.
